0.5l tap. Cloudy vibrant orange with a creamy head. Vanilla, banana, clove, orange zest. Mild dryness, yeasty banana sweetness. Medium bodied, oily texture, lively to soft carbonated, dry fruity vanilla banana finish. Good!

Gravity at HopDog at the anniversary. Hazy golden body, off-white head. Yeasty, soft, flowery, bit funky aroma. Watery taste, yeasty, flowery, ending lightly bitter. Hmm, okay, but somehow not my type, kinda expected more. Also, the winner of the most coherent review of the night perhaps, least edits needed, yay!

Tap at HopDog. Misty orange-golden body, off-white head. Sweetish aroma, banana, grainy touches, light clove. Soft, supple taste - banana, some cloves, lighter on the phenol side, lightly creamy and vanilla-like. Somewhat chalky-minerally too. A very pleasant, well-made hefe that might've scored higher if I didn't have the Paulaner Bräuhaus München Hefe which was god-tier just an hour or two before. Still, very nice!

Tap at HopDog. Murky golden. Hay, summer day, grass. Soft, fluffiest fluff, herbal dry. Like.

Tap. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is cloves, spicy, bananas, wheat. Taste is the same, quite a mineraly touch. Fresh and spicy, good quality. Nice one!

Tap at HopDog (yes). Cloudy amber gold. Ripe mashed banana and much clove, bit of bread. Taste is better than expected; 3 musketeers (just asked someone, its the correct term for this), soft sparkly bitterness.

Sonnen-Bräu Rauch-Doppel-Bock (Eiche), 375-ml-Fläschchen (Nr. 125) von Getränke Dietrich, Helmbrechts (MHD: 31.12.2023). Dieser Bock, datiert 12/2018, ist mir erst gegen Ende seiner 5jährigen Lebensdauer zugelaufen. - Tiefes Rotbraun, sparsamer Schaum. - In der Nase kräftiges, lakritzsüßes und rund mokkabitteres Röstmalz mit Schinken-Rauchigkeit, Karamel, Anklänge an rote Früchte und ganz verhaltene Hintergrundhopfung. - Antrunk wuchtig und fett röstmalzig mit bitterem Mokka aber auch deutlicher, gerade noch verträglicher (Kaffee-)Säure. Von der versprochenen Karamelsüße ist kaum etwas übrig, röstige Rauchigkeit dominiert und leitet über zu verwaschener, blaß zitrusfruchtiger Hopfung. Milder rezent, vollmundig, perfekt kaschierter Alkohol. Im Abgang fruchtige Hopfenherbe aber nicht die angekündigte satte fränkische Bittere, dazu leichte Holznoten und eine kühle Mentholnote. - Viereinhalb Jahre Flaschenhaltung sind doch zuviel für diesen Bock: eine leise Säure hat den Malzkörper angeknabbert, und auch die feinen Hopfenaromen haben sich verflüchtigt. Ganz gewiß noch trinkbar, auch ansprechend, aber nicht überwältigend. (15.4.2023.)

Tap, HopDog. Light hazy red amber, tanned foam. Fruity, juicy malt, berry herbal hops. Smooth creamy mouthfeel, full yet dry, fine sparkly. A hint honey, aroma malts and melanoidin roast, great fruity hop finish. Great.

On tap at Hopdog, München Wednesday 8th March 2023 after a quick beer in True Brew and prior to that an enormous Schnitzel at Andy's Krablegarten. Pours deep chestnut brown, almost clear, there is a large foamy off white head stop. Malt, caramel flood through, really fresh a little nutty on the nose, some leafy hoppiness, a little rustic feel which I like. Wonderful mouthfeel. Great beer.
