330ml bottle from Redhot in Munich. Pours a lightly hazed golden colored body with a finger-width, creamy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is sweeter caramels and a decent floral backing. Some light citrus notes and a touch of strawberry. Flavor is similar. A good amount of florals and a medium sweet, somewhat bready caramel. Finishes clean and dry with a light bitterness and some fruit notes. Fairly lengthy aftertaste following a medium-light body and a soft, moderately lively carbonation. Overall, a decent pale ale. Nothing special, but well balanced and easy drinking.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 ElDesmadre (934) - Mikołów, POLAND - MAR 7, 2013
Bottle. Not really a hop bomb, it has a slightly malty profile, but of course also many hoppy notes - citrusy, floral, rather lots of orange and some peach. Light sweet, medium bodied beer with a dry and bitter finish. Not too flavourful, could have more aromatic punch.

Nice try. A German Pale Ale from a new brewer in Munich. Not quite the American Standard, but on a good way. Like to try it again in a few month, to see if the brewer is improving the recipe.

Medium dark amber, cloudy pour with a thick white head and plenty of lace. Aroma: hops, malt, mango, orange, grapefruit, grass. Nice array of aromas. Taste and mouthfeel: fresh, tangy with good carbonation. The taste profile is a lot more subdued. Very nice.
