Tap at Monyo. Pours murky brown with thin head. Thin, empty, and surprisingly boozy. I just don't get this, really.

Bottle at home, köszi Petra! Pours jet black with quickly disappearing beige head. Nose is lactose, vanilla, low nuts, faint coconut. Taste is chocolate, lactose, a touch of vanilla, and a hint of... coke? Light, somewhat watery body, light to average carbo.

Bottle at home, koszi Petra! Pours opaque golden with white head. Nose is strong tutti frutti and fruity notes with a hint of grassy hops. Taste is quite sweet, candy-like with fruity notes and a touch of bitterness. Long lasting sweet finish, full body. Too sweet.

Bottle shared at work. I totally get the concept here, and the result is not half bad. It’s just the NE characteristics totally kill the lager feel here. The classic German hops is a nice touch tho.

Bottle, koszi szepen Petra! Pours opaque orangeish with white head. Nose and taste are nice fruity hops, intense tropical fruits too with just a hint of bitterness to make things interesting. Great creamy body, soft carbonation. Decent, tho not too NEish.

Can at home. Pours murky orangeish golden with a white head. Nose is a bit stale, hoppy but rather sweet and not at all refreshing. Tastewise it’s much better: the hop character is more intense and pleasant, it’s both sweet and bitter. There’s some candy, pineapple, stonefruits and grass. Closes a sweetish hoppy finish, has a rather thick body and soft carbonation.

Can at home. Pours murky deeper golden with a white head. (Seeing photos of it freshly/from tap I'm not quite sure it doesn't show oxidization, but hey.) Nose is intense, sweetish candy-like fruityness, something that's pretty common for BYM IPAs, even if this was not as good as those usually are. Taste is again this fruity, candy-like sweetness with some cantaloupe and grass. Closes with a long lasting sweetish finish, has a nice and thick, somewhat creamy body and soft carbonation.
