Mild süß hopfiger Antrunk. Geringe Herbe, weich bitter, spritzig würzig. Langer Nachhall. 10/9/9/9//9
Bottle at home. Pours blonde, not so clear, and a bit of a peachy amberglow. Small, medium stable white head. Smell is fruity ( oranges, i’m guessing by the yeast/ hops ) mild maltyness, notes of hops as well . very fine hopbalance . Taste is mild bitter, some citrussy ( orange again) notes from the hops. Mild maltyness ( builds up towards the finish) very complex and nice beer. I liked it ! The tastes are subtile, but very well blended and just nice overall. Bit too high carbonation for me, but a decent MF to pair it.
Sampled @ Zythos Bier Festival 2017. Leicht trübes dunkel goldenes Bier. Geruch ist mild floral hopfig hefig. Geschmack ist dezent süß malzig, hefig, süße Früchte.

29/VII/16 - 33cl bottle from ... fuck, I forgot @ home - BB: see cap, but there was nothing on the cap (2016-797) Thanks to ... somebody, probably...
Clear dark blond to almost orange beer, creamy white head, little stable, adhesive. Aroma: fruity yeast esters, some banana, summer fruit, bit sweet, more ripe banana. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: soft bitterness up front, citrus notes, grassy, bit metallic, some banana. Aftertaste: bitter, metallic, citrus, some orange peel, grassy, little sweet, bit oxidized. The metallic flavours of the regional ground water keep present, and I only noticed where it was brewed days after writing my tasting...
Bottle from LDS, Eke. Hazy blond colour, white foam. Grassy hoppy nose. Cardboard, leather, citrus. Unbalanced, bit thin. Alcoholic. Meh, not the best strong ale.
