Bottle (diky, Quack-Ducku!): Amber coloured, hazy, small off-white head, dryish malty-toasty nose with fruity traces of infection; sweet-bitter and sourish flavour, light to medium bodied; increasing acidity in the malty-hoppy finish. Not completely bad, but unfortunately infected.....
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 MoritzF (7402) - Bochum, GERMANY - MAR 3, 2012
(bottle, courtesy of Quack-Duck, bb-date: end of March 2012) Hazy, chestnut-brown colour with a medium-sized and loose foamy head. Slightly toasty malty aroma with bready notes and a sourish fruity note, showing an early stage of infection. Moderately sweet flavour with a tinge of sourness, light to medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Toasty malt-character with notes of caramel/toffee and a subtle fruity touch; sweet and mildly toasted finish with shy hop bitter and herbal accents. Drinkable, deserves a re-rate sooner or later. 08.II.12
