UPDATED: APR 19, 2013 Bottle thanks to Joes. Unclear hazy reddish color, small white head. Aroma has a lot of herbs and spices, lightly sourish, barnyard. Taste red fruits, lightly sourish, very balanced. Quite like it. Nice beer, but too bad the aroma isn’t as nice as the taste.

Bottle @ joes. Very hazy copper colour with a small off-white head. Smells sourish, cinnamon, mocca and vanilla. Tastes red fruits and sourish, but also mocca and vanilla. Bizarre but i like it a lot. Silky, velvetty feel, medium body, lasting taste, soft carbo. Amazing, bizarre and very nice.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Idiosynkrasie (1839) - Bielefeld, GERMANY - MAR 31, 2013
330ml bottle. Cloudy brown colour with average, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Sourish aroma on sweet malty basis, fruity notes of blue grapes, plum, a touch of cinnamon that must stem from the hibiscus. Taste is sweet-and-sour, fruity, in the finish slightly unpleasant sourish-bitter and medicinal.
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20 Hermod (2197) - Vantaa, FINLAND - FEB 25, 2013
33cl bottle, bbe 12/2015. Says 6.5% on the label. Poured cola brown with a thin beige head. Aroma has sour old yoghurt and cheese with strong herbal notes. Whoa, not sure what to think of this. Flavor has the same feel, old yoghurt and herbs, light sweet and faint malty finish. Bad bottle? ( just a little fizz when opened, very thin head), or then my senses was not calibrated or up to this one.

Wasn’t sure what to expect with this one but boy o boy what a nice surprise . Pours a dark dark copper. Beautiful aroma and best of all is the tongue tickling at the end with a sweet sherbet taste. Very good beer.

Dunkler Kräuterbeginn mit wenig Säure. Durch die Kräuter trocken, Thymian? Im Mittelteil wird die Säure breiter, das Bier getreidiger und deutlich hopfenbitter. RundeHolznoten umrahmen den Abgang und halten bis lange in den Nachgeschmack. Würziges säuerliches Bier, etwas Zitrone. Gut! 10/12/9/13//12
