0.5 l can. Nose is strong, raw, pellet-like hops, just like the taste. Not too sophisticated, quite one dimensional. Closes with this hars bitterness too. Light body, average carbo.

Straight from the 0.5 l can. Decent pilsner, with a significant enough bitter character.

0.5 l can. Copper colour, thick, off-white head that disappears almost immediately. Nose is faint malty and hoppy, quite messy tbh. Taste is unfortunately like it, tho somewhat more clear: slight hops and some biscuity malts. Short, bittersweet finish, average carbo, light body. Pretty mediocre.

On tap @ First Taproom. Jet black with thin, beige head. Nose is big vanilla and somewhat slighter chocolate and grains. Taste follows the nose, closing with long lasting sweet finish. Medium body, soft carbo. Not bad.

On tap @ First Taproom. No trace of any hops, more like a stout and quite poor at that. Meh.

0.33 l bottle from the taproom. Pours copper with thin, immediately vanishing head. Nose is dry (is that even possible?) malty, and I sense some rye in there too. Taste follows the aroma with a very slight, barely noticable hoppy touch. Short, bitterish finish, light body, average carbonation. No big deal, but one without major flaws.

0.33 l bottle @ home. Pours hazy orange with no head. Nose is spicy fruity and grainy. In taste it has the same notes, pretty well balanced, but it has so light of a body that it almost ruins it. Pretty weak and water, with short sweetish finish. If it wasnt for the too light body it could’ve turned out much better.

Tap @ Zsiraf. Way too sweet fruity brew, with a hint of tart character. Meh.
