Picked up from a 12 bottle box Kalea? from Globus. Plattling, €13. Consumed at home Tuesday 2nd December 2025 listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music. Pours with a fab' clarity, mid gold, with a white head. Nice mouthfeel, soft, good carbonation, the bitterness is muted, hoppiness pleasant, it's absolutely fine but wouldn't rave about it.

Picked up from a 12 bottle box Kalea? from Globus. Plattling, €13. Consumed at home Tuesday 2nd December 2025 listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music. Pours clear mid gold, with a clean white head. A hint of grass, farm, barn on the nose, lingering underground bitterness. Very nice mouthfeel, soft, there's a little bit of crispness, a touch drying, a hint of vanilla in an otherwise undetermined light fruity flavour. Better than expected, wasn't a fan at first but grew on me.

Day 2 of the Mr Hop advent calendar, picked up online from the Mr Hop webshop, Vernray Netherlands. Consumed at home Tuesday 2nd December 2025 listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music. Pours gold, hazy, only a slim white head and it didn't last long. Loz said that this was very nice with an aromatic aroma, and yeah it does, it's nice. Crisp and clean, pleasant hoppy, light to middling bitterness. Good, my only real criticism is that the carbonation needs upping, otherwise it's a good beer. Score 6.8

Day 1 of the Fin curated advent calendar for Loz consumed at home Monday 1st December 2025 listening to ByteFM and cooking Gnocchi, Cherry Tomato and Feta bake. Pours hazy mid gold, very lively on the pour, really busy however the white head soon retreated after pouring. Very good mouthfeel, clean, brisk, a little buzzy. Grassy hoppiness, a little clean vanilla, citrus. This is a solid Brut IPA. Score 7.0

Day 1 of the Mr Hop webshop, Vernray, Netherlands advent calendar consumed at home Monday 1st December 2025 listening to ByteFM and cooking Gnocchi, Cherry Tomato and Feta bake. Pours more dark gold, light amber with a slim white head. Nice carbonation, soft mouthfeel, a little hoppy bitterness running through this, sweet maltiness also in the mix, strength apparent but not intrusive, there's a yeastiness and a spiciness. Good. Score 7.0

Can picked up from Äpfel Getrankemarkt, Moosburg and consumed at home Sunday 30th November 2025 after a fab' few days in Frank in Freising and München, including watching Bayern Munich v St Pauli. We're listening to a Shoegaze playlist, we had Nidi di Tagliatelle al forno (baked pasta nests). Pours almost clear golden with a mid size white head. Nice Aroma, a whisper of citrus, hint of maltiness, light clean hoppy touches, nice. Nice mouthfeel, good carbonation, bitterness is there but could be a bit more pushy and crispness lacks a little also, light herbiness, a touch of citrus. Is 6%, really Imperial? A good beer, it's a solid pils but a few little tweaks could improve it further.

Bottle picked up from Apfel Getranke Moosburg and consumed at home Sunday 30th November 2025 after a fab' few days in Frank in Freising and München, including watching Bayern Munich v St Pauli. We're listening to a Shoegaze selection and cooking Nidi di Tagliatelle al forno (baked pasta nests). Pours hazy yellow gold, large foamy white head, nice mouthfeel and hitting all the wheat beer characteristics with just a little bit more oomph, however this is barely discernable. It's good, surprised that I've never seen this before, on reflection it's a little frisky on the mouthfeel. Good beer.

Bottle picked up from Apfel Getranke, Moosburg and consumed at home Sunday 30th November 2025 after a fab' few days in Frank in Freising and München, including watching Bayern Munich v St Pauli. We're listening to shoegaze and later cooking Nidi di Tagliatelle al forno (baked pasta nests). Pours mid amber with a white head. This is very much in the UK style of IPAs so more toffee and caramel fighting to assert themselves amongst the more subtle bitterness and more restrained hoppiness, however very nice to have the contrast with this and the Camba West Coast IPA. It's good but a West Coast will almost always win out for me if it's done well.
