COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Horst takes the idea of the original English Brown Ale and turns it on its head. Taking a cue from the craft beer scene in California, Horst blends U.S. west coast hops with traditional German noble hops. This blend gives our brown ale piney and earthy notes that pair perfectly with the roast, bread like flavors from the malt. After the beer was finished we added even more west coast hops to bring an explosive grapefruit, lemon, and floral bouquet to compliment the smooth, sweet chocolate aromatics. Don’t let Horst’s dark color fool you, it is light bodied, finishing smooth and dry.

tontalus (1794) - - DEC 21, 2022
UPDATED: DEC 21, 2022 Ich beginne heute meine Brau Kollektiv Reihe mit dem Brown Ale 'Horst'. Mein Horst kommt undurchsichtig hellbraun ins Glas und hat eine daumendicke, mittelporige und stabile Krone. Der Geruch nach Karamell und Lackritze ist sehr auffällig. Beim Antrunk mehr Lackritze und Karamell im Hintergrund. Dabei schon angehende Hopfenbitterkeit und gute Maronen Aromen (sorry wenn ich das Wortspiel schon wieder bringe :-). Beim Abgang bleibt die Bitterkeit aber eingebremst und erdige, torfige Aromen bringen nochmal eine Wende rein. Von Geruch über Antrunk bis zum Abgang wird es immer anders und nie langweilig. Leider mag ich die Lakritz Komponente nicht, sonst würde ich besser bewerten. Trotzdem ein super abwechslungsreiches Brown Ale. 12-2020

je_corn (256) - - MAR 11, 2019
UPDATED: MAR 11, 2019 Coarse foam that reduces quickly, murky light brown. Undefined taste with predominant bitter notes and something that reminds me of saison yeast. Not their best beer...

Fin (17267) - Innernzell, GERMANY - JAN 20, 2019
UPDATED: JAN 20, 2019 On tap at Kult Kafe Bier and Music Festival, Munich, Saturday 19th January 2019 in the company of Stefan, Jonas and friends. Pours murky brown with an off white head. There is some citrus on the nose. The flavour whilst adopting some brown ale qualities is as others here have described and that is more in line with a Black IPA. It's a fruity brown that is aggressively hoppy but tastes good for it, soft carbonation, I really like this a lot, another great beer today. A7 A3 T8 P4 Ov17 3.9
