Fläschla (750ml): Pale golden, cloudy, bigger and pretty stable beaten-egg-white-like head; sourish fruity-lemony nose with some forgotten yeasty and hoppy spots; both a bit fizzly and quite soft; light to medium bodied, mild to moderate sourish-sweetish flavour; lingering citrussy and grainy finish with a late Saazy bitterness in the aftertaste. Besides the incredibly WITty pun "WIT-Bier aus WITten" a well crafted nice summer-drink...

Danke an Erzengel. Trocken hefiger Antrunk, mild fruchtig, wässriger Hintergrund. Etwas Zitrus, süffig, monoton, die Wässrigkeit nimmt zu. Keine Hopfigkeit, zum Ende süßlich. Okay. 8/7/8/7/8/7

75cl Bottle from the brewery. Pale white colour, slightly sourish nose. The beer starts fresh and fruity. Very mild with sweetish hints. The herbal witbier aroma is in the back, a layer of sweetish grain on top. Should be much dryer for this style, the spicy floral hops turning in till the end, creating a dryer spicier aftertaste with wheat and witbier yeast there.
All in all a nice brew, but the grainy sweetness is a bit too high for the style. Nevertheless easy to drink, refreshing with nice herbal bitter hop characteristics.

Orange color with white head. Aroma is quite fruity, pears, passion fruit. Taste is passion fruit, pears, slightly resinous. Incredibly how these hops can make such an amazing tropical fruit aroma. I am very impressed!

Bottle. Dark chestnut, nice fluffy offwhite head. Juniper, chocolate roast, sulphury notes. Medium light body, sour notes, some QA problems with the big bottles I think.

Brown-amber color with beige head. Aroma is soap, Klostein, dark malts. Taste is sour, cardboard. I don’t think this was intended.

Copper color with white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy, buttery, grassy. Taste is the same, too buttery. Got a bit of a sting. Unimpressive. Might need to try again.

Bottle, danke Günther. Light hazy orange-golden, fluffy lace. Herbal and grassy hop aroma. Light catty herbs/flowers on a slightly sour hayish malt base. Medium body, light chewy, sparkly mouthfeel. Maybe better fresh.

bottle, courtesy of pivnizub! Hazy deep golden colour, fluffy head. Medium- to full-bodied, good malty base with a grainy touch, good grapefurity and citrusy hops. Delicious.
