Minimally spicy and starchy, pale malty and grassy, minimally fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of yellow stone fruit, a touch of honey. Taste minimally starchy, pale malty with low residual sweetness, moderately bitter, minimally papery hoppy, a mineral touch; lingering, bitter hoppy finish. Minimally oily, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Relatively light and refreshing for the style, rather hoppy as well - not bad.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, orange, golden colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Relatively weak, citrusy and tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, minimally sugary, wheaty malty background, hints of orange, mandarine, lemon, mango, guava, passion fruit. Taste is rather (zesty) bitter, citrusy and tropical fruity hoppy, minimally sugary, wheaty malty basis, slightly diluted hints of orange, mandarine, lemon, mango, passion fruit, guava, minimally papery overtones. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium to fine, prickly to lively carbonation. Fairly fruity, sadly a bit watery and overcarbonated, should be more creamy - pretty nice but improvable.

Ein Weißbier den Schildkröten dieser Erde gewidmet - nicht direkt naheliegend, aber ungewöhnlich und liebenswert. Bitter, fruchtig aromatische Zitronenschale, ein Hauch Sekt, Spuren von Zitronen- und Grapefruitsaft und die Hefe bestimmen den Geschmack. Auch wenn das Etikett der Flasche etwas ausgewaschen aussieht - geschmacklich eine glasklare Ansage. Schön weiche Konsistenz, allerdings am Gaumen spürt man eine etwas zu starke Säurebetonung. Dass die Zutaten aus biologischem Anbau stammen ist sehr lobenswert. Nicht jeder säuft gerne Reste von Glyphosat und Neonics. Davon abgesehen, dass ich doch hin und wieder im Sommer gern mal nen Schmetterling fliegen sehen würde (weil mit Schildkröten ist bei uns in der Gegend nicht so viel los).

330ml bottle. Opalescent, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, thick, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Slightly bready malty, minimally doughy yeasty and minimally citrusy, hoppy aroma, hints of crisp bread, a touch of lemon tea. Taste is slightly citrusy fruity hoppy, doughy yeasty and bready malty, hints of lemon and crisp bread, a touch of lemon tea. Creamy-watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, soft, creamy carbonation. Not overly doughy yeasty, bready malty instead; fairly hopped but not with enough punch to disguise the breadiness - OK.

0.33 l bottle from 'Craftbeershop.com', best before September 2023. Pitch black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty, quite fruity-resiny aroma of blueberry, tropical fruits, pine, dark chocolate and coffee. Gently sweet, malty, quite roasty, quite fruity-resiny taste of dark chocolate, hard roasted coffee, licorice, blueberry, tropical fruits and some pine, followed by a medium long, quite roasty-bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very good BIPA, fairly hoppy and roasty, pleasant mouthfeel as well. One of the best from Finne so far.

Bottle picked up from Hopfen sei Dank Webshop, Bochum although Liz disagrees and thinks that it’s from Sulzberger Bierhaus, Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm. Consumed at home listening to Steve Lamaq on 6Music, Tuesday 21st February 2023. Pours black with a light tan head. Wow this is fab a really nice balance of bitterness, roastiness and lovely soft carbonation, citrusy, wow fab, reminds me a little of the fab BIPA beer from TÓl, black malts and bath salts or whatever it’s called.

Bottle. Clear gold with a lovely white head. Aroma of grains, grass, minerals and earthy hops. Taste of grains, grass and bread with a little bit of spice. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Good. I think it’s pretty Pils-y for a Helles but anyway it was just what I wanted and needed.
