Bottle. Caramel-malty with a hint of coffee. Gentle fruityness too, dried and overripe fruit. Some lager character. Can't really say I notice the maize used. A quite nice brew indeed. 646413 251227

Can, from trade with Bryne. A straightforward and a bit dull cider, other than that it's flawless. Juicy, sweet apple and a hint of grass. Yellow apple finish. 636312 251227

Can, from trade with Bryne. So acidic and apple-fruity I thought for a short second it was a cider I brought to my mouth. Lightly grainy, some candy-like sweetness and a very gentle bitterness. Not very pleasant this one, sure not worthy a winner. 43437 251227

Bottle, bought at the source. A quite generic pilsner, lightly malty and fruity. Some piney, grassy notes. Rather gentle bitterness. Decent. 646411 251227

Bottle, at the brewpub. A clear reddish beer with a small white head. The aroma is fruity, with red berries and some citrus. Bread and malt hints. It's medium bodied, nicely carbonated and fresh, with a touch of bitterness. The flavor is pretty similar to the aroma, although with a more pronounced raspberry instead of red berries. Lasting lightly acidic finish. Fruity. A very nice and refreshing one. 747415 240615
