Draft pour at Laudenbach. Poured a hazy, vibrant orange color with a small white head. Aroma was herbal and weird. Not super enjoyable. Leafy, perhaps some yeasty funk in this one. Something seemed off with this brew, unfortunately. Not sure if it was infected or if the yeast strain just was an off-the wall one that produced some strange estery notes that just didn't do it for me at all.

Draft pour at Laudenbach. Poured a clear amber color, nice ruby note to this one. Big malty backbone on this one, with some herbal and earthy notes. Crisp grassy character, sweet malt. Clean and easy to drink. Overall this one was probably the best of the beers I had there, which given it's name, is a good thing.

Draft pour at Laudenbach. Poured a clear, nice light copper color with a small off-white head. Aroma was pleasant butterscotch. Flavor was big butterscotch, this is actually a decent creamy ale. Not mind blowing, but smooth and easy to drink.

Grapefruit mostly. Maybe a hint of rust but more hazy than red in flavour. Hazy red pour without much head. Light bitter end. Lacks character. Tap at brewery.

Big dose of dish detergent infection here. Pours brown without much head. That chemical acridness sticks with you--very cloying. Tap at brewery.
