I have a hat. It is a cowboy hat, as I am stylish. I drink my beer in style. Like a sommelier.

Can. Mostly clear, deep golden. Pine, late summer, wood, sweetness, stone fruit, bubblegum. Front heavy, fizzy, sticky dry chalky bitterness, followed by dry pine and a bit oily. Good one.

Bottle, licorice edition. Clear dark brown. Roasted, burned, brown butter, umami, soy sauce. Rather dry, actually not undrinkable, creamy. Not gimicky.

Tap at the taproom, sitting inside on a lazy afternoon, watching the hail and rain that just started. Would be interesting to see if those people that were just queuing in tracht outside the Löwenbräukeller are still all there. Queu as in several hundred meters. Orange opaque. Flowery tropical. Soft. Not bad. Oh wow, now there is heavy rain.

Bottle, maybe, don't know. Murky deep banana golden. Hadn't thought of the Bauchnabel ads in years. Banana, cream, clove, grapes. Front heavy, fizzy, floral. A tad sweet, but not undrinkable. Doesn't deserve the low ratings.

Can. Golden, cloudy. Lychee and the usual, sweetness. Same for the taste. Decent.

Bottle, best before 2022. Murky mezzo mix colour. Ripe banana sweetness, oxidised, caramel. Front heavy, edgy fizzy. This one hasn't aged well. Heavy on the booze. Sticky.

Bottle from 2005, opened in 2026, for an afternoon of delicious food (assumed; still in the oven right now, but I know the chef), and cake (already out of the oven, rhubarb, might be tasty). Brown ale colour, raspberry but not the artificial one, raspberry fruit sorbet, intense. Wow, this has aged lovely. A tangy aftertaste, nearly no carbonation, fruity raspberry, but not sweet, followed by creamy warm. Yes.

Can. Deep golden. Crisp, fruity, lychee. Chewy, juicy, a decent bitterness to balance it, followed by soft and creamy. Warm and strong - and very drinkable. Like.
