Bottle. Clear deep orange colour. Initially nice citrusy aroma, zesty, orange. Very prominent caramel in this one, burnt sugar. Otherwise nice hoppy zesty citrusy character. Easily drinkable.

500 ml bottle shared by Gurthnar at Bratislava Tasting, thanks!
Pale orange, hazy body, with a small, creamy, white head.
Aroma of citrus, passion fruit, grass, candy.
Tastes of vegetables, grass, citrus, candy.
Light, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes moderate bitter, citric, with vegetables and grass.
Not really good. Taste feels dirty, with vegetable notes, I don’t ever like in beers. Another hoppy beer from this brewery I didn’t enjoy.

Aroma of bacon, smoked wood, caramel, ash, earth, some coffee.
Tastes of bacon, caramel, dark fruits, wood, earth, cocoa, coffee, some spices.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes smokey, roasty, dry, also sweet, wooden.
Nice one. Dominant smoke, but also sweet and some dry roasty notes from tbe background. Well balanced, with a well hidden alcohol. Nothing outstanding, but by far the best beer from this brewery I’ve had.

500 ml bottle got at Austrian Beer Challenge 2015.
Copper, moderately hazy body, with a medium, fluffy, slightly yellow head.
Aroma of grapefruit, orange, resin, grass, herbs, caramel, some butter notes.
Very unclean taste of butter, grass, cardboard, herbs, grapefruit, some caramel.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes unclean, with some butter again, fruits, zest, slight malts.
Starts quite promising, with a nice appearance and a good nose, although a bit unclean. Unfortunately the taste is dominated by the unclean notes then and leads to a pretty unpleasant experience. Couldn’t finish this.
