Bottle, many thanks herrklemann, light gusher. Murky yellow color with white head. Aroma is straw, grassy, a bit zezty, bready yeast. Taste is straw, gooseberries, bready yeasts again. High carbonation. Quite interesting, but nothing too special, it’s also overcarbed.

Bottle, 330 ml at O’Connors, Wien. Courtesy of Werckmeister. Pours orange, medium white head. Smoked, quite strong peat, leather, malty, some fruity notes, easy drinkable. Problem is not too much is going on besides peat, lacks complexity. Medium bodied.

330 ml bottle from BeerLovers.
Moderate gusher. Dark amber to copper, hazy body, with sime floaties and a big, fluffy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of gingerbread, dark bread, caramel, some other spices.
Tastes quite similar, with some more toast.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes spicy, toasty, moderate roasty, a bit sweet, a bit bready.
Good. The ginger is quite dominant, but still well integrated into the darker malt notes. Reminds me a bit of gingerbread. Nothing I would drink too often, but still nice stuff.

Trübe, hellgelbe Farbe mit weißer, rasch verschwindender Schaumkrone. Fruchtiger, schön grasiger Geruch. Geschmacklich eine gute Balance zwischen Süße, Fruchtigkeit und Bitterkeit. Sehr ordentliches, erfrischendes Bier.
