UPDATED: JUL 4, 2023 Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo tostato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con qualche bollicina grande. Il liquido offre una visione offuscata. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, agrumi, spezie, arancia amara, erbe ed erbe aromatiche.

UPDATED: MAR 24, 2023 450ml bottle. Pours hazy gold with a small white head. Aroma is coriander, citrus zest, pale malt. Taste is medium sweet, coriander and citrus. Light bitter finish. Way too sweet. Couldn’t drink more than half.

UPDATED: DEC 25, 2022 Das Gruut Amber riecht etwas muffig nach Keffee, Karamell und Dörrobst. Der geringe, gemischtporige Schaum ist bald weg, die Farbe ist bernstein. Beim Antrunk kommt auch Kaffee bei leichter Karamellsüße. Dabei schön fruchtig. Der Malzkörper ist stark und kernig, was sicher von den beigefügten -nicht näher ausgeführten- Gewürzen kommt. Bei voranschreitender Verkostung wird das Bier immer besser. Der Malz bleibt am Gaumen zurück und wird durch weitere Schlucke immer stärker und differenzierter. Dabei ist die Rezenz recht hoch - das Bier läuft gut rein. Beim Abgang kommt neutrale Hopfenbitterkeit, die die vorherigen Aromen abrundet. Welche Gewürze hier verwendet wurden hätte mich aber schon interessiert! 08-2019
