Bottle, thanks Pivnizub! Light fruity straw and herbal nose. Gloudy golden, fine carbonation and big off-white head. Fruit and straw dominate the front - very Landbierisch, herbal bitternes, fruity retronasal. Relatively light body. Quite special - very interesting.

(swing top bottle, with thanks to pivnizub) Light-hazy, orange-amber colour with a beautiful, slowly lacing foamy white head. Moderately sweet yeasty and malty “rural” aroma with dense fruity (apricot, citrus) notes and herbal hops. Bitter flavour, light to medium bodied, well-carbonated mouthfeel. Malty and herbal hoppy taste, dry, yeasty bitter finish. Nice.

Bügelverschlußflasche (purchased at the brewery): Deep golden coloured, hazy, medium-sized fluffy head, slowly diminishing to a stable, foamy white layer; malty aroma with a delicate and distinctive hoppiness and a barnyardy background; dry, moderate bitter flavour, light bodied, soft MF; malty fruity (yeasty?) finish with a lingering bitter aftertaste. A charming, basic, rural brew...................

Strong hops aroma. Little hazy, golden color, firm white head, very nice lace. Malty, little sour start, very well hopped, in the end no sourness but bitter, well balanced, medium body.

Full boedied. Hops in aroma and taste. Herbal. Very hoppy beer from a very small brewery, that looks like a destroyed farmhouse but is still alive and kicking.
