Hefiger und sehr trockener Antrunk, der weit besser als das Grundbier ist. Etwas süßlich, viel zu trocken. Der Hopfen sticht auch bei diesem Bier hervor, hier aber zum Ende. 10/9/9/9//9

Bottle (from bierzwerg.de). Slightly hazy orangeish pale brown colour with a mediumsized foamy slightly off-white head that leaves some lace. Aroma is bready malts, some slight fruityness, grass and some mild raisins and yeasty notes. Flavour is quite strongly leathery along with some bready and sweet malts. Ends in a quite fruity and floral hoppyness. Semi dry and very smooth palate.

(bottle, 75cl) Almost cloudy, chestnut-bown colour with a beige and short foamy head. Yeasty, fruity and slightly piney, also a bit woody hoppy aroma with a discreetly (cara-)malty background. Moderately sweet and bitter flavour, light bodied, but not watery; soft carbonation. Initially sweet (cara-)malty taste with a rising hops profile towards the medium-dry malty and slightly fruity and woody hoppy finish. Quaffable Amber Al(t)e. 13.VII.10

Bottled (BZ, 0,75 ltr, lot 3-10)
Hazy brown-orange color, small creamy off-white head. Aroma is yeasty with brown sugar, hops and some fruity notes. A bit sour. Grapefruit or other citrus, yeast, candy sugar, cardboard and spices. Like drinking some odd Fantome saison. Probably slightly off, as fresh most likely should have more fresh hoppyness. Interesting Catalunian brew.

Bottle (75cl): Unclear, small to medium-sized persistent off-white head, amber coloured; moderate dark-malty and fruity (brambles?) with a good dash of nice aromatic hops; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, soft; lingering aromatic hoppy and fruity finish, even with a chocolatey touch in the aftertaste. Great, the spanish equivalent to an excellent german Alt.......

UPDATED: AUG 24, 2010 My every day pale ale. Beautiful hops on the nose and palate, fresh and crisp, with a great touch of bitterness, fine dry finish.

Tape @ Festival der Bierkulturen. hazt golden brown pour. Sweet nose, slightly bitter. Decent bouquet of wild flowers. Taste is semi-sweet, smooth and soft. Herbal notes and dark fruits. Some offputting taste on the out. Not bad by any means.
