Tap at Raven Fest. Hazy paaale yellow body, off-whtie head. Lovely lemony notes, light phenolic touches in the aroma. Tart lemon-lime taste, again the lovely citric presence, bit salty, but there are some light phenols underneath, not the happiest about the base. Still, a good one!

Cask (!) at Raven Fest 2025. Nice golden body, off-whtie head. Very, very lovely coffee aroma, pungent. The taste is then lean, dry, grainy, lightly coffeeish and with more bitterness than the body could hold properly. Okay!

Tap at Ravenfest. Murky yellow body, off-white head. Peachy, estery, bit herbal and minty aroma. Minty, dry, herbal taste, bit citric, slightly funky, peachy, juicy... fun! Soft, but ends bitterish. Good one again!

Tap at the Ravenfest. Golden body, white head. Herbal, dank notes absolutely dominated everything in the aroma. Similar in the taste - herbal, dank, citric, dry... maybe vaguely fruity really, but my palate wasn't the freshest, so giving it some benefit of doubt.

Tap at Raven Fest 2025. Hazy yellow-golden body, off-white head. Citric, some tropical notes, herbal hoppy touches, my notes are getting messy at this point. Lean, dry, herbal taste, bit juicy, tropical, but also herbal and quite bitter. Good stuff.

OMFG! Did I expect to ever try it? No! Was the 2025 Raven Fest, in honor of Raven's 10th anniversary the most likely place I'd do it - of bloody course it was! Enormous thanks to the Raven folk, I think it was Míra who got it to me. So... how does such an old BW perform now? Surprisingly well, we found. Murky brown body, off-white head. The aroma is still dominated by dried fruit and caramel, all's well there. The taste, however, shows some hits. Lean, dried out, somewhat tart, but also cake-like, lovely dried fruit touches, truly nice I'd say, but the age took its toll!

Tap at Ravenfest. Hazy yellow-golden body, white head. Lightly citric, smooth aroma, some malty and herbal notes Sweetish taste, bit malty, citric, herbal, bitterish. Simple, okay, but didn't thrill me entirely. Should maybe rerate.

Tap at Raven Fest. Purple, off-white head. Dragonfruit, cooked somehow, in the aroma, light rhubarb. Juicy dragonfruit taste, low rhubarb, low sourness. Nice, really not much more to tell about it.

Very hazy yellow colour, large, though not too stable ecru-ish off-white head; aroma of coconut, lemn zesty, grape (peel), some green tea, apricot, some floral and pear peel notes; taste has similar notes to the aroma with a good amount of hoppy bitterness; really good and refreshing one; many thanks for sharing, Kapusil!
