31 December 2025. New Year’s Eve tasting - cheers to all! Can from Mr. Hop.

A: hazy orange, small, foamy, white head.

T: sweet banana, apple & apricot, honey, spicy clove.
F: peppery hops, soft spices, ripe yellow fruits, warming fruit liqueur-like alcohol.

Not very sophisticated, but works well as some kind of 'hybrid' or 'Imperial Hefeweizen'.

31 December 2025. New Year’s Eve tasting - cheers to all! Thanks to Gregory for sharing the bottle! Bottled: 10/12/2024.

Hazy golden, very thin, white head. Aroma of hashish, grass, wood, green apple, thyme, rhubarb, white grape, moist white pepper, grapefruit peel. Taste has sour green apple, grape and rhubarb complemented by some earthy & herbal notes as well as funky cheese & hashish in a bread-crusty malt body. Bitter grassy hops in the finish, lingering herbs, wood and soft lactic acid notes. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. Elegant, but could have carried over a bit more funk & tartness into the finish.
