Sample at Haandfest 2019. Unclear golden orange body with a small white head. Aroma is fruity with brett, acid and hint of pineapple. Flavor is fruity and refreshing, tropical fruit, pineapple, acid, funk, wood and moderate bitterness. Fine balanced body and sooth, fruity and tart finish. Very refreshing with a fruity complexity, I really like this one.

Sample at Haandfest 2019. Unclear, murky orange body with a fine, dense off-white head. Aroma has malt, apricot, grapefruit and canned fruit. Flavor is pretty smooth and more fruity than usually for a Barley wine, still sweet malt, caramel, dry fruit and decent bitterness. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Alcohol is well hidden. Nice one.

Sample at Haandfest 2019. Big surprise this, was not expecting to be impressed over a weissbier when sampling lots of big sours all day at a beer festival, but I just needed to have something different in my glass and this was an excellent choice. Unclear pale golden body with a rather small white head. A bit mild aroma, typical for a wheat with wheat, banana and a hint of oranges in addition. Flavor is really smooth pale malt, wheat, general fruity, banana, fruity yeast, esters and oranges. Well balanced body and smooth aftertaste as well. Nothing really special, quite true to style with the exception of the oranges, but it’s so smooth and refreshing. Very nice.
