On tap at Forschungsbrauerei München, Thursday 17th July 2025. Not sure why Forschungsbrauerei München are selling Hopfen Häcker beers as well as their own, maybe they have some dual arrangement? Tbf I didn't actually realise that this was a Hopfen Häcker beer until after I ordered it and then went to check it out and add it if necessary, being served in a Hopfen Häcker glass as well confirmed it. Looks fantastic, light/mid gold, slightly hazy, large creamy textured white head. As the name suggests the taste is a little floral, nice middling bitterness, actually a pleasant bittersweet balance, soft mouthfeel, the end is becoming dry. It's a lovely beer, perfect temperature, looks great, tastes great, aroma is a bit subdued but all told it really ticks all the right boxes.

Can picked up from (forgot where?) however done a search through emails and beer orders and not there, so must have been an in store purchase. Actually I reckon that I picked this up from Bierothek in Fürth. Consumed sat in Frank at the Freising P&R in the campervan area, Wednesday 16th July 2025. Pours pitch black, shark eye black with a tan, actually a light beige mid sized brown head, chocolate on the nose, also some honey actually it's maple syrup. Similar in the mouth, plenty of chocolate, a bit of an artificial taint to it, ok but not really wowing me.

On tap at Sammamera Freising, Wednesday 16th July 2025. Pours light amber with a very slight haze and large creamy textured white head. Light maltiness on the nose, caramel and toffee also show. Similar in the mouth, there is a very light bitterness but it's mostly malt driven, soft mouthfeel, nice.

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7

Can picked up from Beyond Beer webshop Hamburg (I think) consumed at Karl-Heinz Kapfhammer camping, Regenhütte, Saturday 12th July 2025 after a🚶🚶🏻‍♀️walk from campsite along the Große Regen River to Grenzland-Fest Zwiesel and back🚶‍➡️🚶🏻‍♀️‍➡️. Listening to the new album by Big Special. Pours gold, with a mid sized off white head, hazy. The nose is a little resinous and with a little sprinkle of citrus, malty also. The taste following a similar trajectory, bitterness there but could be more pronounced, decent but bettered by the earlier beer I had.

Bottle picked up from Walther Mai München and consumed at home sat out in the garden Sunday 13th July 2025 after a short walk to/from Schöfweg Volksfestival and a weekend locally hiking from Regenhütte between Zwiesel and Bayerisch Eisenstein. Pours dirty yellow/gold with a large white head, tangy, a little tart, citrus, primarily grapefruit, sweetened grapefruit, drinks far easier than an 8.5% beer should, nice but could have a bit more about it.

Can picked up from Beyond Beer webshop Hamburg (I think) consumed at Karl-Heinz Kapfhammer camping, Regenhütte, Friday 11th July 2025 after a🚶🚶🏻‍♀️walk from campsite along the Große Regen River to Bayerisch Eisenstein and back🚶‍➡️🚶🏻‍♀️‍➡️. Listening to Afrodeutscha on 6Music. Pours gold, light gold actually, not far off being clear, slim/mid sized white head, sticky, lacing. Very good beer, nice bitterness that really creeps up, a little sweetness perhaps even a touch of honey but a building bitterness snubs it out. A little citrus and pithy edge, this is a lovely beer.
