Bottle at Erzbierschof Monday Club. Pours cloudy amber. Aroma is strong tropical fruit and pines, some dank. Body is strong, rather sweet but strongly bitter, lots of backbone, punchy, still very fruity. Matching, soft-ish carbonation. Slightly oily. Lingering fruit palate. Very drinkable while being punchy. Good, but not quite as extreme as a typical NEIPA would be.

Tap at Erzbierschof. Murky dark orange color with no head. Aroma is oak, vineous, prunes, a bit nutty. Taste is vineous, prunes, some oak sugars, tannic, slightly tart bite, the sourness is balanced by the oak though. Slightly warming finish. Oily mouthfeel, low carbonation. Very good!

330 mL bottle poured. Much thanks to Matt/Alberto for the bottle. Backlog. A little past the best by date, but still very much going strong. Copper orange pour with a lasting cloud head. Slight metallic aroma, along with a subtle, but lingering hop. Some spice. Cool flavor, rich bready malts. Modest in the rye department, though it is there. A unique beer to try. Pretty good stuff.

Bottle, courtesy of Marco. Pours foggy amber. Aroma is spices, pepper, grassy hops. Body is medium, with some decent spices, little sweetness, low bitterness, smooth carbonation and texture, yet only a little pepper. Palate is lightly fruity and rather short, leaving some spiciness behind. Good.

Bottle at a tasting. High bitterness and loads of hops character - citrusy, zesty, resiny. Some alcohol pokes through, but only lightly. Intense, kicking ass. Fresh feeling too. Well attenuated and high carbonation. Moderate to full body with light caramel presence, but whatever. Basically a well made DIPA.

Bottle at a tasting. Clear pale colour, moderately stable white head. High carbonation, well attenuated yet retaining the subjective feeling of a medium body. Flowery and light fruity hops character. Soft maltiness in the background. Very easy drinking. Very good too.
