Tap. Delirium Cologne. Region tick by the looks. Clear medium gold. Solid swede. Sweetish grain and earthy hop leaf. Taste is dry and light bitter. Solid pils but would have benefited served colder. Nice bar, mind.

Tap. Craft Beer Corner, Cologne. Clear medium gold. Slightly broken just off white lasting head. Taste is sweet and caramel like. Some charred pith bitterness. Drinks easy enough for the ABV. Maybe a little flabby. Feels over 7% actually. Bitter finish. Ok. Skewed.

Tap. Craft Beer Corner, Cologne. Not totally clear. A tad sweet and worty overall. Fairly grassy and floral. Ok at best. And I got 2 because the barman cocked up.

Tap. Craft Beer Corner, Cologne. Clear dark gold. Decent dense white foam. Smoke comes across savoury and cheesy. Taste is sweet and also cheesy. Some light bitterness. Drinks easy overall. Nice Rauch.

Bottle via the online shop. Hazed gold. Good solid white foam. Barrels coming good here. White (I’m guessing) Burgundy with light bourbon notes. Sweet and tangy in equal measure. Bright and breezy saison yeast character. Cut wood. Boss. Taste is semi dry with a soft woody grainy sweetness. That long boil hop thing is pronounced too. Nice bitterness throughout. Unreal this is only 4.5%. Mill’s rinsing the barrels for all they’re worth. Fantastic.

Bottle pour. Quintessence 25. Served with some delicious Comte cheese, of which I had an unfair share, frankly. Yeah ace. Been after ticking this for ages. Can’t completely remember what it was like because I was a bit pissed by now.

Bottle pour. Quintessence 25. All bits of barnacles and shit stuck to the bottle but if I’m completely honest it tasted absolutely no different to the regular beer we had at the same time. This one came with seaweed tartare. As you do.

Bottle pour. Quintessence 25. Served with some beef fillet. No looker this one. Hazed dull gold with a few loose lifeless suds. Peaty and lightly acidic and not really for me. Great tick though.
