My Stats (Click one to view detailed breakdowns)
For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

Can @ home. Unclear golden body under a fine, big, dense white head. Mild but nice aroma, light malt and slightly floral and a citric touch. Taste is malt driven, smooth, mild malt, hint of biscuit with fruity hop bitterness. Balanced body and pleasant aftertaste. A nice and well-made version of a blonde, delicate subtle qualities with perhaps a bit more bitterness than typical for a blonde. Suits me fine, how fare can you go with a blonde?

Backlog August 2016. Clear pale golden body under a fine, lacing white head. Nice, refreshing fruity aroma, some acidity and really not much left of the beer in aroma. Taste is super refreshing, acidic lemon and fruity with a hint of yeast. Medium body and same aftertaste. Easy drinkable and all over very refreshing fruit beer without so much beer flavor.

Taste is smooth, sweet malt, some citric fruit, hint of toffee and balanced bitterness. Medium body with smooth and slightly bitter aftertaste.

Bottle @ home. Unclear golden brown body under a fine, stable, big tan head. Aroma has slightly roasted malt, hint of toffee, chocolate nuts and a light fruity touch. Taste is smooth, soft, mild roasted malt, bread, nuts, hint of chocolate and some fruity bitterness. Well balanced body, balanced in taste and very easy drinkable with a distinct flavor. All over a fine sample of this lager style this is.
