yellow, hazy color. off white head which disappears quickly. quite sour / yeasty smell, hints of banana, quite a lot of carbonation. medium body, the hot chili taste overwhelms very quickly and too soon, that is why I wasnt able to identify any other tastes. very long very spicy finish.

Bottle, 2013 version. I will leave out a detailed rating and just enjoy this beer as it is in respect of Gerhard Forstner who passed away today. Many thanks for pioneering Austrian craft beer, your achievement will be remembered. Prost!
