Don't know if this really out of production. Has certainly been rebrewed in 2026, maybe as a one-shot? Anyways...
Dark golden with the slightest orange hints. Very hazy (borderlining murky). Average sized, quite compact white head, ok retention and lacing. Quite good intensity in the aroma, where a bit of soft, white bread like base is overcome by strong fruity notes (candied orange and grapefruit most clearly discernible, but definition isn't great) and a bit of resinous feel. As mentioned, good intensity and freshness, but so-so definition and not that much complexity. Taste notes follow the aroma closely, even in terms of intensity/freshness/definition... Plus, a bit of hop burn shows up in finish/aftertaste. Sweetness and bitterness are both pretty intense, but they find a good overall balance. Medium body (feels lighter than expected for the abv), with average carbonation; hides the abv very well and feels pretty drinkable and quite lively. Overall: still a quite intense and pleasantly refreshing IPA, but not that convincing; not fully up to Pohjala's standards.

Paleish but slightly translucent golden with a bit of haziness. Average sized white head, recedes quickly but still leaves a layer, no lacing. Weakish aroma with sweetish lemonish notes (meaning they lack the sharp/pungent component) with the faintest grainy note underneath; clean and refreshing enough. Taste notes as per aroma; again, clean and refreshing, a bit on the sweet side even for the style. Very light body, average, fizzy and lively carbonation; very drinkable of course. Does it's job as a refresher.

Slightly darker than usual for a pils, just a hint of haziness. Medium sized white head, good enough retention, not much lacing. Aroma: grainy malts with the slightest biscuity hint, a bit of honey, light grassy hops notes and maybe a floral hint. Average intensity, good definition; feels more like a helles aroma though. And indeed the pilsner hop character is quite subdued in taste too, with notes as per aroma (floral hops showing up a bit more). Light to medium sweetness and light to medium bitterness, none stands out in both taste and aftertaste. Again, good enough intensity and definition, no flaws. Lightish body with average carbonation, quite an easy drinker as mandatorily franconian. Overall: a fair one, but just very slightly a pils in character, could perhaps have scored some 0.2 more in the overall if it was labeled helles or export or something like that.

6.8/10 — Setting 6 Selection 6 Service 8 Food 7 Value 7 Overall 7
This place is basically a restaurant in the same format as the many ones that Augustiner has throughout germany. Forst, the largest indipendent brewery in the german speaking region of South Tyrol, also has a few such places in the area. So, this is a place where you'll find Forst beers on tap (their main 5: helles, pils, kellerbier, heller bock, dunkler bock) and a bavarian themed menu (whit a hint of italian kitchen thrown in). Ambient wise, it feels like your typical bavarian place, though the outside patio lacks a bit in giving that vibe. Selection: well, their 5 core beers (the keller and the heller bock are a bit rarer to find) are all quite ok but nothing special; they are served in good conditions though. A flight is avialable. Food: big plates of mainly bavarian themed stuff, nice. Quite good value for what you get.

Pours a quite translucent hazy dark amber. Doesn't get much head, shows decent persistence though. No lacing. Reasonably intense aroma, where a far from restrained sweet malty base (caramel mainly) is followed by soft, jam-like fruity notes (orange most clearly detectable) and by an underlying half grassy, half resinous note. Relatively simple, but pleasantly soft while retaining a nice fresh feeling. Taste notes follow the aroma, plus maybe a hint of rye-like crispness, but the rye component feels overall pretty minimal. Sweetish in both taste and aftertaste (hoppy notes still bring a decent refreshing feel, though), perhaps a bit too sweet in a not too dry finish/aftertaste. Light to medium in body, average carbonation, a very easy drinker for the style. A fine enough one on the overall.
