Fin Profile - Brewver

On tap at the brewpub in Plattling, Monday 15th December 2025, after a complete debacle trying to get parked at the station, but DB parking machine not working and parking app also failed. We have eventually parked at the Wohnmobilstellplatz. Anyway this is our first time in here because the opening hours haven't worked for us until now, it's busy tonight and we're on the Stammtisch. Pours dark conker brown a little murky with an off white, mmhhh....perhaps cappuccino coloured head. Nutty flavour, smooth, caramel easy drinking, decent carbonation. Good.

Pattern Recognition from Siren Craft Brew

6 months ago

6.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

Day 14 of my Mr Hop beer advent calendar, got this direct from the webshop, Vernay, Netherlands. Had this at home after a 15-16km loop walk from the house to Brotjackelreigel and the Steinberg Skilift. We've got a homemade Cannelloni in the oven and listening to LCD Soundsystem - Home. Pours a very light hazy gold with a mid sized white head. I have to be honest, for a Siren beer this is majorly disappointing, it really doesn't tick the West Coast IPA vibes for me. It's a bit sluggish, aroma verging on artificial, and despite being easy drinking for the abv there are few other positives. Lacking in bitterness, hoppiness, crisp bite, in fact whilst not a bad beer, it's just a bit of a disappointment. Score 6.3

7.4/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7

Day 14 of the Fin curated calendar for Loz, had this at home making Cannelloni, after a 15-16km loop walk from the house to Brotjackelreigel and the Steinberg Skilift. We're listening to Pôt-pot - Warsaw 480km. Pours hazy mid yellow with a mid sized white head. Nice mouthfeel, soft, good carbonation. Very easy drinking for the above, hoppiness shines through but on a bed of sweetness, the bitterness builds slowly. There's a nice light tropical fruit touch. Simple but very good. Score 7.4

Wet Hop Pils (2025) from Hoppebräu

7.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Bottle courtesy of Jonas, cheers Jonas. Had this Tuesday 9th December 2025 listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music. Pours hazy yellow with a mid/large white head. Nice aroma, fresh, vibrant and reminds me very much of Weihenstephans own unfiltered pils at the brewery both on the nose and in the mouth. Soft mouthfeel, pleasant carbonation. Bitterness slowly floods through, I guess that I'm picking up on the fresh, clean, green hoppiness but for me it's just a great pils that I'd happily drink all night. Score 7.9

Makahiki Lono from Dutch Bargain (Brouwerij Brouwerslokaal)

7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7

Can, Day 5 of my Mr Hop beer advent calendar from their webshop, Venray, Netherlands, I'm clearly a few days behind with this one. Consumed this Friday 12th December 2025, cooking Thomasina Miers Picadillo (Mexican Chile) however this is for other meals, we we're actually having Dishoom Masala Prawns and another curry of Masala Chicken with Pulau Rice and Poppadoms and Raita, however after the poppadoms, pickle tray, raita etc we were full 🤣. 🎧 to Afrodeutscha on 6Music. Pours pitch black with a light tan head that soon departs into the inky depths. Light coffee, vanilla and roasted malts dominate the aroma. These three also come through in the mouth, which is creamy and thick, however their presence here is a little more subtle. It's a touch sweet and a little bit boozy at times, but it's certainly not in yer' face and is pretty decent. Score 7.1

Bottle picked up from Mr Hop webshop Vernray, Netherlands. Consumed this Friday 12th December 2025, cooking Thomasina Miers Picadillo (Mexican Chile) however this is for other meals, we were actually having Dishoom Masala Prawns and another curry of Masala Chicken with Pulau Rice and Poppadoms and Raita, however the poppadoms filled us up 🤣. 🎧 to Afrodeutscha on 6Music. Pours shark eye black with a head that was rapidly swallowed up by the inky depths. Warmth from the chilli gives a nice kick, also a pleasant chocolate streak throughout. Smooth, warming and a little boozy, lovely stuff. Score 7.5

Toffee Nut Latte from Vault City

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Can courtesy of Baz, cheers Baz!. I added this to the beer calendar that I curated for Loz and this was the Day 7 beer however not consumed until day 12 as we shared this Friday 12th December 2025, cooking Thomasina Miers Picadillo (Mexican Chile) however this is for other meals, we were actually having Dishoom Masala Prawns and another curry of Masala Chicken with Pulau Rice and Poppadoms and Raita, however the poppadoms filled us up 🤣. 🎧 to Afrodeutscha on 6Music. Pours pitch black, inky black, there was a head but it disappeared rapidly. Nice aroma, toffee, peanut brittle but a touch artificial, I like it but it's not quite right. Taste is hugely sweet, it's a great beer but wow unbelievably sweet, thickness in the mouth, huge toffee and caramel. I've got to give it a good score because it's a good beer, but, it's unreal....too sweet. Score 7.0
