Bottle, courtesy of Erzengel, shared at Ganz. Pours holden with a white head. Nose is hay and honey with herbal notes. Taste is fundamentally sweet, showing layered grains and some honey but there’s a good amount of bitterness to it to balance things out. Interestingly both the sweetness and the bitterness are relatively apparent and intense yet it somehow manages to maintain balance. Bit of a surprise tbh, but surely a pleasant one.

Bottle at home, courtesy of Erzengel, thanks a lot Gabriel! Pours deep golden with an orange hue and off-white head. Nose is flowery, somewhat fruity hops, honey and a yeasty touch. Taste is moderately bitter with an underlying sweetness. There are floral notes, some honey a herbal touch. Clsoes with a moderately bitter finish, has a light body and sofr carbonation.

Bottle from Gabriel/Erzengel. Danke. Grassy marmalade aroma. A satisfying amber-orange. Thick foamy white head. Medium bitter. Underlying juicy citrus sweetness. Malts. A touch of quinine and spice. Marmalade. Light-medium bodied. Thin if slick. Average carbonation. Dry astringent finish. Satisfying oldschool IPA.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing. Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Intense fruity hoppy aroma. Starts intense hoppy, dry, soapy. Some lemon notes, light salty touch. Finish milder, well balanced. Interesting.

0,33 l bottle from Erzengel. Thanks a lot! Unclear golden with a more than two finger steady foamy white head. Tropical fruity smell with some caramel. Taste starts with an intensive hoppy bitterness and yeasty passage. Caramel and dry grain in the second row. Also sticky sweetness. Pleasant bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice.

Bottle: Golden with an orangey sheen, hazy, big and very stable off-white head, distinctive - surely relatively dry - bitter and exotic-fruity nose, yeasty spots well detectable; dryish bitter flavour, low (malty) sweetness, light to medium bodied and not overly soft; lingering and - surprise - softer and - surprise again - sweeter fruity-bitter finish. O.K....

0.33 l bottle from 'Sonnenschein', best before April 2021. A little hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity, slightly grassy and a little resiny aroma of tangerine, grapefruit and a touch of spruce. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently fruity and slightly grassy taste of tangerine, grapefruit, some grains and a touch of spruce, followed by a short, gently bitter, slightly grassy and a little resiny finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Pleasant IPA, a bit tame but well-brewed.
