Bottle. Clear amber with an ok white head. Aroma of caramel, malts and herbs. Taste of caramel, marzipan, malts and hints of lemons. Sweet. Low bitterness. Medium carbonation. Nope. It‘s missing the heartiness and spiciness I want from a Festbier.

Bottle. Clear gold with a big white head. Aroma of grains, grass and spicy hops. Taste of grains, malts, bread, straw, hints of lemons, spice and just a tiny bit of metal. Moderate bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Clean, crisp, süffig and refreshing. I went in with no expectations and it’s just another basic Pils but boy did I enjoy this tremendously.

Draft @ Plan B, Bielefeld. Cloudy pale yellow with good white head. Aroma of tangerines and tropical fruits. Taste of passion fruits, mangos, stone and citrus fruits with just very little in the way of malts. Starts off quite strong and very fruity and juicy but falls flat quickly. Low bitterness. Medium carbonation. Ok but like with most Session IPAs I‘m feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

Bottle. Clear amber sporting a massive white head. Aroma of caramel and light smoke. Taste of malts, grains, caramel, a faint hint of lemons and some smoke. Just a little bit spicy and herbal. Low to moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Very balanced and highly drinkable. Nice.

Can. Cloudy Dark yellow Sporting a decent white head. Aroma of resin, pine, stone fruits (peaches) and oranges. Taste of resin, malts, pine, oranges, lemons and zest. Moderate to strong bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. As someone who favors classic West Coast IPAs this is the kind of Hazy I can get behind. Listen to the older kids: Rad stays rad.

Bottle. Murky and sludgy brown with a massive beige head. Ugly for real. Aroma of overripe bananas, wheat and clove. Taste of bananas, caramel, clove, bubblegum, bread and wheat. Low to moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Almost creamy mouthfeel. I have to admit that Grolsch quite surprised me with this one.

Bottle. Murky cloudy orange featuring a big white head. Aroma of stone fruits, tropical fruits and Capri ice lolly. Taste of oranges, resin, grapefruits, malts, lemons and some pepper. Rather strong bitterness. Medium carbonation. It’s alright but Pax usually does better.
