(bottle) Cloudy, orange-golden colour with a big and blond foamy head. Herbal-spicy hoppy aroma with a whiff of grass and spruce, accompanied by mildly honey-ish malty notes. Moderately bitter and delicately sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with an almost creamy carbonation. Soft and mildly grainy malty base with a good dash of herbal and slightly grassy hops, lingering into the lasting bitter hoppy finish. Might be odd for the typical IPA devotees, tastes like a dry-hopped pale Bock, also Witzgall Landbier from Franconia comes to my mind. 25.VIII.14

Pour is a clear yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a nice dry pils malt with some cracker and grass. Flavor is about the same. Dry malts followed by a nice grassy hop. So dry and clean tasting. A pils that would probably out do most from the fatherland. Please bottle this one next.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is lemon and other citric acids. Flavor is again a very lemony tartness with lots of carbonation. Finish leaves a tart but not overly sourness on the tongue. Very refreshing and palate cleansing.

500ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orangey golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Herbal hoppy aroma, hints of grapefruit, a touch of wet hay. Taste is bitter hoppy, grassy, spicy hints of hay, some citrusy fruitiness, hints of glue; well hidden alcohol, relatively light body, cumulative, slightly biting hop bitterness.

500ml bottle. Hazy, yellow-ish orangey, golden colour with average to huge, thick, frothy, fairly lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma with notes of lemon and orange receives support by grassy, peppery-spicy hop notes from the Hallertauer. Taste is moderately bitter hoppy, slightly sweet, juicy, fruity basis with notes of pineapple, orange, lemon, grassy, peppery-spicy hoppy overtones. It doesn’t go without some irony to sit here in Germany, drooling over any supposably flavourful US IPA reachable in order to escape from the boring German pabulum, finding oneself drinking one with "decidedly German twist". But this doesn’t mean being reverberated into Sisyphean circumstances: what we’ve got here is a nice exemplar that shows the splendid usage of a putative second order hop variety adding some well matching spiciness.
