STEFAN Profile - Brewver (Dev)

Stovepipe can. Pours a translucent gold color with a small-ish white head that soon fades away. The aroma is strong with mixed citrus; I get grapefruit, mango, pineapple and lemons. The taste does not live up the foreshadowing of the aroma. Discernable flavors include pine resins and grapefruit. Flavors seem a bit washed out and light with only bitterness remaining. Palate is light and crisp. Finishes somewhat short with lingering bitter pine. Overall: Interesting.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

375ml bottle. Batch 2. Pours a honey gold color. The aroma is light with apple peel and some deftly applied spices that I cannot pick out positively. The taste is honey, apples, mild spices, and something tart. The palate is full an d coats the mouth well. Finishes long and semi-sweet/semi-tart. Overall: Decent mead, but the spices throw it off for me a bit, I would prefer I more pure apple.

The Statement - Lutowka from Schramm's Mead (Ferndale, United States 🇺🇸)

8.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 9 Texture 9 Overall 9

375 Bottle. Batch 2. Pours an opaque deep dark purple color. The aroma is strong with cherries and more cherries--very rich cherry flavor. The flavor, like the aroma, is a study in lutowka cherries with a nice bit of tannin complexity and a bit of tartness. The palate is full and coats the mouth well. Finishes absurdly long with lingering tart cherries. Overall: Awesome sauce. Paired will with an English Cheddar

Rojo Rising from WeldWerks Brewing Company (Greeley, United States 🇺🇸)

7.3/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

pint can. Pours a gorgeous dark copper color with a huge off-white head that has good retention. The aroma is medium in strength with pine resins and some toffee. The taste was hops forward with somewhat harsh bitter pine, followed by caramel way in the background. The palate was smooth and even with prickly carbonation. Finished long and bitter. Overall: Decent, tasty, but more like homebrew that is over-hopped with magnum.
