Bottle picked up in Zurich (forgot where) Switzerland, consumed outside Frank (Camper) whilst making home made burgers at Fischers Fritz Camping, Kirchner, Nr Zurich, Saturday 25th June 2016. Pours hazy orange gold/mid amber with a mid sized steady white head. A little bit dry, fruity in the mouth with a little bittersweet grapefruit. This is a fine IPA, it’s not exciting but it’s decent enough. A7 A3 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4

Bottle [from Euro Swap 2016-2 thanks to Anstei] @ home. Clear orange golden color, medium sized off-white head. Aroma is malts, nicely hoppy, quite fruity. Taste malts, hops, grapefruit, firm bitterness. Decent to medium body and carbonation. Quite nice.

Bottle [from Euro Swap 2016-2 thanks to Anstei] @ home. Clear dark amber, red-purple color with a medium to full sized off-white to beige head that lasts for quite a while and leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma is malts, full of hops, resin and pine. Taste malts, fruity hops, fruit bitter, grapefruit, citrus, bitter, slight resin in the background. Medium body and carbonation. Not as thick and less sticky resin and pine I’m used to in an Imperial IPA, but pretty nice!

Bottle poured. Pours a dark reddish copper pour with a thin fizz head. Aroma of dough, dough, and dough. Super sweet flavor up front, but mellows. Not picking up much acetone, though somewhat expected. Sweet caramel, boozy finish. A little too sweet and the booze is a little dominating. Can’t really complain though. Pretty good beer.

10th rater, making this beer an adult. This is a flummoxing beer. A little garbagey smell but a nice grapey character. A good deal of alcohol. The flavor is way better than the aroma. A sweet, grapey malt-centric flavor. No hops, low carbonation. Sweet, fruity malty finish. I like to drink it way more than smell it.

Bottle courtesy of Marco Buraschi. Amber color with beige head. Aroma is red apples, hints of caramel, light freshness from the yeast. Taste is slightly tart, caramely, a bit of an Oud Bruin character in there. Light tartness. Quite balanced and fruitier than most Barleywines. Low carbonation. Better than the Barrel Aged version 2016 we’ve had before.

Bottle, thanks SinH4. Orange, light haze. Sweet, light fruity nose. Medium body, surprisingly light on the palate. Spicy, a hint gunpowder, fruity, broad hops in the background, sufficient restsweetness. Pleasant drink.

Bottle courtesy of Marco Buraschi. Amber color with small head. Aroma is red apples, caramel, some white wine feeling. Taste is caramel, more white wine, red apples, quite sour, but it works out. The yeasts probably were not under perfect control here, but the taste is beautiful. Low carbonation. Very good.
