No head to speak of; veiled orange-ochre beer. Very flowery, even fruity nose, but with a marked sweet undertone (caramel?), and distinct touch of almonds. Hoppy-sweet, with even more outspoken (bitter)almonds flavour, as marzipan, made from bitter almonds, subsequently liquidized and watered down. Touch of citruszeste. Quite light body, certainly for a 6% beer (which would be considered strong ale in the UK!). Watery and spritzy, despite little visual carbonation. Not really bad, just a tad too watery, and a bit too much of this weird almond flavouring (yeast?). Many thanks to Peter V., and all the people he mobilized to get the beers in Ursel!!

Pirítós Pub, Budapest. Barnás pirosas világos szín, tetején kis-közepes fehér hab, mely közepesen kitartó. Illata eléggé jellegtelen, halvány gyümölcsösség és karamell vehető ki. Íze is meglehetősen vizes, az illatából ismerteken kívül feltűnik egy kevéske komlós is. Kellemesen szénsavas és nem túl száraz. Meglehetősen ízetlennek találtam, de testesebbre főzve akár egészen jó is lehetne.

1 l PET bottle as a gift, shared with a friend.
Poured opalescent, peach colored with a small delicious white head. Moderated aroma with some caramel, minimal hops and fruities. Medium bodied beer that opens very slowly with a mild fruity character, minimal carbonation, clean mouthfeel with minimal caramel and citrussy-resiny hop. Moderated, too moderated beer. Please give it more power, more craft! And keep it up, please develop this beer!
