Draught at the brewpub. Hazy golden colour. Large fluffy head. Sweet taste with a slight bitter aftertaste. Nice at the start but a bit disappointing as you go through it.

Draught at the brewpub. Quite a dark place so hard to say how dark the beer is. Good off white head. Strong malt flavour. Solid brewpub beer

Argh, forgot to rate this. Draught at the brewpub on 07.03. I guess. Poured a hazy yellow-golden body with a small white head. Slightly acidic eggy nose. Eggy taste, yeasty, dry, buttery. Slightly yoghurty too. Didn’t like this one much I’m afraid.

07/03 Draught at the brewpub. Most of the beers here were great, even the fact they’re making a cider makes me happy, but let’s try it first! It poured hazy very pale yellow, I would say ivory body without any head. Apple and woody aroma, sweet and cloying but sharp sour on the other hand. Flavor was around there, fresh apples, woody, more sweet than typical ciders. Medium to thinner body, but very slightly carbonated, so you can taste its flavor better. Long sweetish finish. Different than any other I’ve tried, but very interesting, refreshing but still tasty, so surely I liked it.

07/03 Draught at the brewpub. It poured hazy yellow body with medium sized head. Fine lemony and unpasteurized hop aroma. Very nice flavor, slightly sweetish honey, bready and fruity malt with herbal and citrus hops showing up more to the end. Well balanced actually with both malts and hops seeming to be of extraordinary quality. Full bodied with very nice and long bittersweet finish. Another nice beer from this great brewpub, making it my favorite pils in Berlin.

07/03 Draught at the brewpub. It poured orange body with small to medium sized head. Peeled orange, bubblegum and some strange coriander-like spice in the aroma. Sweetish banana and bubblegum yeasty flavor, also pretty chalky, yoghurty and dusty with more wheat and less yeast punch than most of the Weizens. Medium body with pleasant long banana and chalky finish. Good German wheat for sure.

07/03 Draught at the brewpub. It poured slightly hazy golden body with small head. Some really fine honey bready malt aroma, with a little bit of sourish unpasteurized hops. Flavor wasn’t so fine, strange yeasty, shows more some socks and chalk than those fine honey malt you would expect. Sweetish honey finish, shows also nice herbal hops. Well, it’s only strange not bad, but they should do something about that unpleasant yeast domination.

07/03 Draught at the brewpub. It poured almost black body with small brown head. Cocoa, coffee and little bit of herbal hops in aroma. Nice coffee malt profile, not overly bitter, rather extended to some chocolate and wood flavors. Slight herbal bitterness showed up as well. Medium bodied with long fine coffee finish. Definitely the best Schwarzbier around, and for sure, it has nothing to do with dunkel, as stated here.

Draught at the brewpub. A pale greyish yellow body. Dusty apple nose, quite sweet, slightly sourish. Sweet honeyish, fruity appley taste. Dusty. Odd, very fruity, slightly gluey. Dry, a bit woody. I actually liked it, atypically sweet for a cider and yet nice.
