tadahster (112) - SWITZERLAND - DEC 10, 2013Lots of yeast in the bottle. Lots of pineapple aroma, some banana, strong bitterness, some raspberry, somewhat dry.

Hazy orange color, big cloudy off-white head. Fruity aroma with some spicey notes. Light to medium bodied. Fruity, spicey hoppyness. Decent. Columbus is a bit boring as a single hop.
omhper (40214) - Tyresö, SWEDEN - OCT 24, 2013Bottled, thanks Bov! Hazy orange, mid sized head. Sweaty grapefruit aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Really bitter finish. More bitterness than aroma.
oh6gdx (44952) - Vasa, FINLAND - OCT 9, 2013Bottled@omhper. Deep amber colour, big beige head. Aroma is fruity, floral, caramelly and a bit toffeeish as well. Flavour is fruity, caramelly with some mild nectary notes.
rand (3460) - SWITZERLAND - SEP 22, 2013Bottle 33 cl from erzbierschof.ch. Reddish and muddy beer with an invasive beige foam, nervous crackling. Aromas of citrus, undergrowth, pine, herbs and earth. Like the taste, with green and tropical fruits, citrus and spices on a malted sturdy body and caramel. Well balanced and finale on a bitterness of pine and citrus.

Beautiful bright hazy amber color with huge compact head. It has a powerful aroma of malt, with hints of grains, light fruity hops, traces of black pepper. Good malt and caramel flavor, full bodied, yet lean, with just moderate residual sweetness; strong bitterness, with evident resiny components and decent fruity qualities; balanced final. Lacking a bit of freshness.
Very good.
ElDesmadre (6867) - Jaworze, POLAND - JUL 15, 2013Bottle, traded with Allen. The rocky head on top of this dark amber coloured beer makes it one of the best looking brews I’ve ever had. Some caramelly malt shining through a multifaceted hoppiness - orange, peach, melon, pepper and earth. Spicy aroma. Chewy, creamy, warming mouthfeel. Moderately strong bitterness, well balanced. More spicy and earthy flavour, less tropical notes than expected. Very earthy finish. An impressive effort.
Embrouille (2879) - SWITZERLAND - MAR 23, 2013Bottled 33cl. It pours a surprisingly dark murky amber beer with a tall nicely lasting lightly tanned head. Resinous hops, cookie dough, spicy yeast, green apples and tropical fruit showing up in the nose which is rather powerful. Good bitterness. Medium to full bodied. Yeast accented. Some lacework. Dry finish.
Bov (14982) - Bienne, SWITZERLAND - FEB 10, 2013courtesy of Tom Strickler - cloudy dark reddish-amber beer under a persistent beige foam; nice lacework; fairly hoppy with earthy and spicy tones; notes of caramel and citrus; full-bodied, rounded and clean palate, velvety and pretty bitter; dry with a long and well-pronounced hoppy aftertaste where piney and spicy tones dominate; hints of melon - elegant and deeply pleasant
