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.

Bottle. Pours a hazy light gold with a fizzy head and aromas of cloves and other spicy esters. Flavor is light and peppery, but thin. Kind of like a watered down version of what I would expect from the style. Not bad, but I was hoping for a much more assertive beer.

Bottle. Pours a clear(isn) gold with a medium head and aromas of dough, honey and hay. Flavor is clean... a little dough, some honey and light bitterness, but nothing too interesting. Great beer for summer.

Bottle. Pour is a straw-gold color with a fair amount of haze and a thin head. Aromas are of lemon and orange with a little ester funk. Flavor is very clean and crisp... light honey with oranges and a little spice, but I would be hard pressed to identify it as coriander without the cheater code on the label.

Bottle. Pours an orangish copper with a very thin head and aromas of apple juice, toffee, and a little bit of cocoa. Flavor is initially fairly fruity depending on how it hits the palate it either stays that way or blossoms into a bit of a cocoa finish that is interesting. It’s a nice beer, but not really anything too unique.

Bottle. Fairly cloudy apricot-colored pour with a massive sudsy head. Looks a lot like a wheat beer in terms of color, clarity and head size. Aromas are lightly spicy with a touch of lemon and honey. Flavor is very interesting and much better than my nose led me to believe. An explosion of lemon and bitter orange dominate the whole thing. Deep underneath the hops blast I can pick up a bit of a grainy texture... almost dusty, but the hops presence washes it away fairly quickly.

Draft at baileys range during RBSG. From notes. This is like loads of concentrated apples smashed into a beer. Awesome.
