330ml bottle. Minimally milky, faint, amber colour with small to average, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Spicy and slightly floral aroma, mellow malty background, notes of allspice, whiffs of chamomile. Taste is sweet-ish, pale and caramel malty, spicy and slightly floral, minimally yeasty fruity, notes of allspice, hints of chamomile, caramel, a touch of sweet cherry.
Oily-watery texture, smooth, minimally cloying, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium to coarse, mildly prickly carbonation.
Nice composition, maybe still a tad too light and watery for an even better integration of the adjuncts - enjoyable.

100ml draught at Hopfen+Malz as Heimat Bock Hell, 6.9 % abv. A warm golden body with a decent off-white head leaving spotty lacing on the glassware. Quite promising aromas with caramel malts to the fore. Malt-fruity taste, herbal hops and caramel malts. Mid-sweet malt driven ending. Fine bodied. Decent. (Aachen, 26.02.2026).

0.33 l bottle from 'AleHub', best before November 2025. Hazy, ruby with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, fairly spicy, gently fruity and a bit yeasty aroma of cinnamon, anise, clove, cherry, raisins and gingerbread. Rather sweet, malty, fairly spicy, gently fruity and a bit yeasty taste of gingerbread, raisins, cherry, cinnamon, anise and clove, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Hardly resembles a Quad due to the lack of a noticeable yeast character, but saturates nevertheless. Very spicy, would make for a great Christmas ale, everything but well-balanced, of course. I like it, typical Freigeist stuff, but won't be to everyone's liking.
