Bottled. A red beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of matl, caramel, and fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and dusty hops, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Cloudy blond color. Strong aroma of apricot jam, and some Saaz-like hops. Weak body and light flavor of nothing; low bitterness. Strange...

Hazy blond color; no head retention. Aroma of hop and plastic. Dry mouthfeel, poor malt flavor, some bitterness and yeast. Useless.

Hazy blond color; small head. Interesting aroma, some malt, hop and citrus fruits. The body is lean, at least stronger than the East Coast Ale tasted side by side, with light malt flavor and correct bitterness. Not bad.

Hazy blond color; small head. Light hop aroma. Some malt flavor, light residual sweetness, with very citrusy hops. Quite good.

Alkoholischer sowie herber Antrunk. Besonders die Herbe setzt sich fot und verbindet sich mit der im Mittelteil enstetehenden klaren Bitterkeit, seichte Kräuternoten folgen. Anschließend wird das Bier ruhiger, die Bitterkeit flacht ab, die Hefigkeit steigt. Nett. 7/9/8/8/8/8

Süß hefiger Antrunk mit Apfelnoten, die sich zusammen mit der Süße im Mittelteil rar machen. Hier ist das frische Bier herb, die Süße hat nur noch einen geringen Anteil. Zum Ende steigert sie sich wieder leicht, bleibt aber unter der Anfangsstärke zurück. Gut trinkbares und erfrischendes Bier. 7/8/9/7/7/7

Milder Malzantrunk mit anfänglichen Bitternuancen, die später von süßlichen Noten verdrängt werden. Die Malzigkeit wird erheblich dunkler, in Teilen wirkt sie verbrannt. Dazu kommt eine dezente Säuerlichkeit, die im Abgang aber wieder verschwindet. Etwas trocken, im Abgang passend hopfig. 7/8/7/7/7/7

Im herben und hefigen Antrunk fällt eine leichte Rauchnote auf, die sich im Nachhinein als Koriander entpuppt. Daneben ist das Bier aber nur wenig aromatisch. Bitterer Abgang mit Koriandernoten. 9/7/7/6/5/6

340 ml bottle. Hazy orange body with a diminishing white head. Aroma is light malty and doughy with a hint of caramel and light citric fruit and spices. Flavor is rather unusually, some malt, acidic fruity, some kind of fruity bitterness and yeast. Medium body. This is not a particular good beer, but not really bad either. I actually have to give some extra score for the exoticness.
