<i>Draught at the brewpub (as Weanna Bitter Öl). </i> Cloudy reddish brown, rocky head. Yeasty aroma with minerals and melon. Sweetish malt btutally dried out by blood and metal. Caramelly fruity sugary malt with notes of black currant. Linering resiny bitterness. Quite interesting and unusual, albeit a tad disharmonious.

Top yeast cold-fermented. Draught at the brewpub as Wiener English Ale. Quite cloudy chestnut color. Big stable tan head. Weak baking yeast/fresh bread aroma. Quite fruity flavour, medium bitterness. Sweet finish. The fruitiness is a bit like sweet fruit, mandarin or whatever. There is also quite a bit of yeast in the finish.

Draught at the brewpub: Creamy dense, off-white head, light brown head. Very hazy, light brown color. Very yeasty nose, shy esteric aromas. Metal and some citrus notes. Flavor is esteric (oranges, spices), metalic hop notes, very yeasty. Light sticky and sweet, medium hidden by the quite bitter, dry and herbal hops. Unharmonic, and too young.
