Fin Profile - Brewver

Can courtesy of Kostas, Kykao brewery which arrived about 15mins before we left home on Thursday. Drinking this sat outside Frank at Camping Leutasch Austria, Saturday 16th August 2025. Pours looking every bit like a glass of orange juice, slim white ahead atop. Tart and zappy, a little overipe cape gooseberry, also passion fruit. Not as dry as description hints at but it is a little. This is not totally my cup of tea but I can see the appeal.

Bubi's Märzen from Klosterbräu Seefeld

10 months ago

6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 7 Overall 6

On tap at the brewpub, Seefeld in Tirol Austria in the company of Jude and Baz, Saturday 16th August 2025. Pours hazy amber with a large white head. Rustic in flavour, pleasant buzz on the tongue, hoppiness leans more towards hedgerow hoppiness, light maltiness, a tiny bit acetic in the mouth but it's not infected, perhaps it's the house style because the Hefe Weiß is similar.

5.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 4.5 Texture 7 Overall 6

On tap at the brewpub, Seefeld in Tirol Austria in the company of Jude and Baz, Saturday 16th August 2025. Pours hazy mid yellow with a large white head. There's a tiny bit of acetic flavour in the mouth but it's not infected, perhaps it's the house style because the Märzen was similar. There's a little bit of banana in the mouth but it does feel like it's a bit homebrew'ish'.

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

Bottle that I picked up from Drankgigant.nl webshop, Vlissingen, Netherlands and consumed in the company of Jude and Baz at Camping Leutasch, Austria, Friday 15th August 2025, we had a Thomasina Miers Chilli-con-Carne, Spicy Deep Fried Pineapple, Mexican Roasted Courgettes and Mexican Rice. Pours shark eye black with a light beige, actually let's go with cappuccino coloured head of foam. Roasty with intense coffee notes, also molasses and licorice, in fact there's lots of liquorice. The flavour also following a similar trajectory. Nice mouthfeel, body smooth and full. Well balanced but a bit of a one trick pony.

7 Years Stout from Vault City

6.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 5 Texture 7 Overall 5

Can courtesy of Baz from Hereford Beer House and consumed in the company of Jude and Baz at Camping Leutasch, Austria, Friday 15th August 2025, we had a Thomasina Miers Chilli-con-Carne, Deep Fried Pineapple, Mexican Roasted Courgettes and Mexican Rice. Okay so another day, another Vault City stout that is unbelievably sweet. I could go through the checklist of ingredients here and almost certainly tick each one off. Vault City make really good stouts, however their achilles heel is that they are consistently too sweet, cloyingly sweet.

Mediterranean Cedrus DIPA from Kykao - Handcrafted

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

Can courtesy of Kostas Kykao Brewery and consumed in the company of Jude and Baz at Camping Leutasch, Austria, Friday 15th August 2025, we had a Thomas Miers Chilli-con-Carne, Spicy Deep Fried Pineapple, Mexican Roasted Courgettes and Mexican Rice. Pours hazy yellow with a large white head. Quite sweet but interesting, I don't mean interesting as a negative, because this is yet another Kykao beer where local ingredients have been sought to flavour a beer. There is a subtle woodiness and resinous flavour here but it's really not as pronounced as I expected, again I'm struck by the sweetness which really kicks back at any bitterness and hoppiness.
