bottle, bought at the brewery, ABV 4.9%. Hazy golden yellow, sour nose. Fruity and sour, hints of buttermilk, hints of citrus fruit. Malty background, aromatic hoppy notes as well. A very interesting and fascinating beer which is more and more appealing. The buttermilk-sourness gives it a wild character. I would like to open the second bottle to find out more about the character of this beer. Of course I don’t because it is already reserved for my friends in Bochum.

Bottle 500ml. @ home.

Initial sparkling, a light unclear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, toasted, hay, straw, light hoppy. Flavor is moderate sweet, light light fruit acidic and light moderate bitter with a average to long duration, fruity, sour malt notes. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

500ml bottle (OPP, Helsinki, German Weeks 2009)
Dull aroma. Very cloudy deep yellow. Sharp palate, almost sour. Lovely full crisp taste. Finish pleasantly hoppy. Tasty zwickel, possibly the best I’ve had.

Bottled@One Pint Pub, Helsinki. Hazy yellow colour, smal white head. Aroma is yeasty, malty, hoppy and a bit rubbery. Flavour is quite much the same along with some berryish strange sweet notes. Rather strangely balanced brew.

Bottle (Dank an den Bodenseee): Cloudy, pale golden to golden, small, stable lacy white head; fruity-yeasty-sourish nose with a sweet-malty background and some hoppy edges; light sweetish-sourish flavour, light to medium bodied, quite soft MF; sourish-fruity finish with a light bitterness in the aftertaste. Possibly infected, but still drinkable............

Sweet and slightly sourish flavour soft malty and fruity-yeasty taste light to medium bodied slightly fizzy mf sweet and slightly sourish finish with yeasty and slightly hoppy bitter notes (28.06.08).

An unclear yellow beer with a huge but fastly dying white head. The aroma contains strong notes of citrus as well as light malty notes. The flavor is very fresh malty with light citrus notes, but with a thin body.

(on bottle) Fresh, cheasy aroma. Light mouthfeel, but lso soft like a oktoberfest. Grassy, herby taste, rather refreshing finish.

Bottle. Light hazy yellow colour with a big white head. Weak malty, grassy, fruity aroma and a sweet light caramel taste. Medium body with a sweet light dry finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy pilsener golden with a small, creamy head. Fruity, lightly bananaish nose. Soft, malty with some notes of bubble gum. Unusual for it’s style, but fine indeed. 210106
