Bottle from Neked Csak Dezső, Budapest. Poured a slightly hazy light golden colour with a big fizzy, short-lived white head. The aroma is grainy dry biscuit malt, dry tropical fruit, gluey, light toffee. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter with a crisp, dough malt, fruity, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. The bubbles lasted forever.

Bottled.Thanks Sandi! Black body with a tiny tan head. Medicinal alcohol, just pure ethanol mixing with jammy fruity notes in the aroma, a bit oily... err... what? Creamy taste, dryish in the finish, with no bitterness. Alcohol all over the place, though more in taste than in feeling initially, the warming feeling does creep up. The malty notes, perfumey, in combination with the alcohol make it seem at times like those cheap pralines filled with cheaper still liquor one can get at discount stores. And that's at its most interesting. After Smog Rocket, this felt like a botched homebrew, and I'd hoped for more and I know they can do better. Hope to rerate it at some point. It should not have been like this.

Közepes, nagyon tartós hab, barna szín. Nagyon intenzív, citrusos, grapefruitos, déligyümölcsös illatvilág, markáns citrushéjas, gyantás vonásokkal. Grapefruitos, narancsos, déligyümölcsös ízek, határozott fenyős aromával. Könnyed, közepesen szénsavas, erősen keserű. Izgalmas ízvilágú, jól összerakott sör.
