Near amber and cloudy with a good 2cm head. Nice nose, floral, apricot, orange, a touch of banana. Mouth is ok, grassy hops up front, malt, crispy fruity bitterness in the middle and lingering but very dry and slightly puckering. Good!

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, dark amber colour with average to huge, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Cautious, minimally floral, leafy, hoppy aroma, rather neutral, malty background, a touch of tea. Taste is caramel malty, minimally citrusy, leafy and floral hoppy, hints of lemon, lemon tea, a touch of marmalade, minimally waxy overtones. Watery texture, minimally dry, papery palate, medium to fine, slightly prickly carbonation. A bit cautious if not anaemic, rather earthy, not really fresh, hoppy flavours - OK.

Und noch ein Bier aus einem Kalea-Paket, die inzwischen öfters mal im klassischen Supermarkt zu sehen sind. Ein naturtrübes Golden Ale kannte ich bis jetzt noch nicht. Und wie es aussieht schmeckt es auch: Es hat hefige Zwicklnoten, die recht kreativ mit den hopfigen Alearomen verknüpft sind. Das ist so gut gelungen, dass man sich fast wünscht, dass es intensiver ist...wobei ich nicht glaube, dass das technisch möglich ist. Daher sagen wir: Passt so! und freuen uns an den biologischen gemütlichen Zwickl-Ale-Zwitter.

330ml bottle @ Last Beer Tasting Before Lockdown 2.0, Chez Sophie, Oct 20. Brought by me, thanks Rauchbierlover for this. Murky deep brown appearance, lacklustre off-white head. Aroma of oxidised mucky yeast. Taste continues. Clearly not the intended result. Rated kindly.

Monday 2nd Nov 2020: Monthly Beer Share at Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Four hardy souls and plenty of variety, some good snacks too! Thanks Mat for this 33cl bottle, via a trade; BB Dec 2020. Cloudy dull amber body, white topping. Think this was somehow 'oxidized' as it didn't smell or taste right. Nothing Belgian about it either. Can only score it poorly.

Bottle, 0.33l. Cloudy copper pour, thin soapy white layer on top. Minimal lacing on the glass. Good on the nose, floral and fruity notes, ripe fruits, spices, caramel. Thin to medium body, lively carbonation, a bit aggressive. Fizzy mouthfeel, prickly on the tongue, texture feels a bit lightweight and watery. Balanced taste, sweet malt, subtle bitterness in the aftertaste. Aroma feels a bit subdued, not forward enough. It's there but feels somewhat empty. Caramel, herbs and spices, ripe fruits. Earthy notes, minerals, yeast. Mild sugary. Lingering alcohol burn, very subtle. Short lasting finish. Good, but could be better.
