0,33 l bottle. Clear dark golden in the glass. Two finger head. Sweet fruity with malt on the nose, some hopy elements in the second row. Taste starts with a lot. Hopy bitterness, dry grainy, some hay, present malt. Also fruity sweetness in the background. Dry sweet grain in the aftertaste with a long lasting pleasant bitterness. Lively carbonation. Little bit rough in the mixture but interesting.

Thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Starts mild, malty, modest dry. More and more flat, boring-malty, not very roasty. Tastes like a very light dunkles. Doesnt show much of a porter. Strange beer.

0,33 l bottle. A darkest flat copper in the glass, nearly two finger not very long living beige head. Some malt and sourish notes on the nose. Not a lot. Taste starts malty, little bit dry and grainy. A few sequences like a Pilsener or a Dunkel. Dry malty, little bit roasted to the end. Less sweetness than expected. Can not really convince.

0,33 l bottle bought at the brewery. More golden than amber in the glass, unclear, one finger head. Mango fruity on the nose. Short mango fruit at the start, than more dry grainy, malty, mid bitterness, less fruity. Thins out to the end. Doesn´t hurt but only a Pale Ale for beginners.

Huge thanks to WilemsUrenkel for that one. Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, huge head. Malty fruity aroma. Starts mild, malty, fine fruity with notes of lemon, sourish hints, also salty hints. Not too yeasty. Finish well balanced, mild, still fruity. Liked it!

2016-01-09: On tap at Freie Brau Union, Bremen. Pours hazy amber with solid off-white head. Aroma of bread, sulfur, flowers, hay, straw; some spicy and citrussy notes. Well balanced taste, some bitter finish. Full bodied. 2021-12-28: On tap at Freie Brau Union, Bremen. In addition to previous rating, aroma has some fruity esters and is definitely on the malty side.

Bottle at Freie Brau Union Bremen. Pours hazy brown with beige head. Aroma of caramel, coffee. Taste watery bitter-sour. Thin bodied. A bit boring, too little character of a porter.
