Angenehm hopfiger, ziemlich getreidiger Antrunk. Zu Beginn stört die starke Karbonisierung, die dann aber in den Hintergrund tritt. Minimal säuerlich. Zum Ende trockener, die zuvor angenehme Hopfigkeit nimmt deutlich ab. Süffiges und njettes, aber nicht wirklich besonderes IPA. 11/10/9/8/8/9

500ml bottle. Cloudy dark chestnut brown colour with average to huge, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Ephemeral grassy hoppy aroma, dark malty undertones with a nuttily touch, hints of of coffee, some husk. Taste is dark malty with intense grassy, tannic hoppy overtones; slightly sticky palate. Very "crafty", slightly unbalanced, inharmonic, not really tasty.

500ml bottle. Minimally cloudy golden colour with small, frothy, moderately lacing, white head. Floral, minimally herbal hop aroma. Taste is floral, minimally herbal hoppy, a grassy touch - tastes like an early summer meadow (or evokes at least this picture in mind). Mere subtle hop notes though, slightly watery overall,

500ml bottle [6.3% abv]. Slightly cloudy orangey golden colour with small, diminishing, frothy to creamy, minimally lacing white head. Decent, slightly tart, unspecific fruity aroma, hints of cooked vegetables. Taste is minimally sourish, minimally spicy, minimally dry hints of fruit parings; soft carbonation. Could have been pushed a bit more to the limits.
