flying_pig (3134) - IRELAND - JUL 24, 2023
UPDATED: JUL 24, 2023 500ml bottle from Beers of Europe (£3.69): Clear & caramel coloured with a large, 2.5cm head that's foamy, slightly off-white with a few bubbles & good retention. Malty with some lager notes, grain, biscuit, faint herbal notes & the odd dar, Dried fruit at the end. The taste doesn't seem quite as complex, it's malty again with bread & biscuit flavours with a slightly hoppy finish, a medium body & a tiny bit of spice too.

UPDATED: MAR 5, 2023 Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Robustly malty aroma with caramel and bittering hop. Some toffee, bittersweet flavour. Rich malt profile, what's not to love? Fine beer for sure.

Kita (4657) - Koper, SLOVENIA - JAN 3, 2023
UPDATED: JAN 3, 2023 Swing-top bottle, 0.50l, courtesy of Ivona & shared with colleagues. Aroma of caramel, bread, nuts and grass. Pours clear brown color with thin creamy tan-like head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts mild sweet caramelly and grassy, following is bready, minerally and honeyish, mouthfeel is rather dry, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Nice one…

caribou43 (3069) - SWITZERLAND - NOV 19, 2022
UPDATED: NOV 19, 2022 Buying this beer at the drinks of the world Geneva. Opening and sharing it, two days ago with Alex, walking in the jorat. The body is copper and clear, carbonated, white foam. A typical altbier, average, this one is dry, mineral, malty, note of toffee, dry hop for lager, not strong, easy to drink, perfect in the nature.

3.7
snowcrash000 (2268) - Cologne, GERMANY - OCT 15, 2022
UPDATED: OCT 15, 2022 Pours a slightly cloudy, pale mahogany coloration with a medium, creamy head. Smells of grainy, bready malt and herbal hops. Taste is a great balance of grainy, bready, slightly caramelly malt and herbal, slightly floral hops, with fruity highlights of dark fruit and red berries; fig, redcurrant and some nutty accents. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some bready malt, herbal hops and dark/red fruit lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation. Haven't had this in ages, but had kinda good memories of it and am glad to have tried it again. While it's not quite on the same level as the classic Düsseldorf Alts, it's certain the best widely distributed Altbier that I've come across so far, even though Hövels actually refuses to call it an Altbier for some reason. Nice balance of bready malts and herbal hops, with a little depth provided by some red/dark fruit and nutty accents. Very nice mouthfeel and beautiful coloration and head as well.
