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.

Butelka (0.75l):Pale golden to golden, cloudy, lively carbonation, little floaties visible, loose but stable white lacy head; moderate herbal grassy and dryish grapefruity-citrussy nose, some pale malt detectable; almost solid dryish bitter-sweet flavour, sweet malty base still detectable, light to medium bodied and pretty soft; pleasantly lingering and not too dry bitter-sweet finish with a robust grapefruity touch. Very nice session brew…

0,75 l bottle from Sonnenschein in Witten, best before 8/7/2015. Clear, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Shy, fruity-malty aroma of passion fruit, mango and grass with minimal hints of butter. Sweetish, fruity-malty aroma of passion fruit, mango and grass with hints of butter, followed by a medium long, medium bitter finish. Medium body, slightly creamy texture, average carbonation. Very solid, expected a little more hop aroma. Still, the most interesting one of the (first) three beers from Ruhrtal Brauerei.
