hredwolf (26) - RUSSIA - MAY 14, 2013
Had it on tap at Zum Uerige. I had very high expectations for this beer but reality was not that good :( Slight caramel in taste, moderate bitterness in the end - that’s all that I can say. But place is great.

Theydon_Bois (2957) - The ’Sham, Surrey, ENGLAND - MAY 12, 2013
Tap at Sum Uerige Dusseldorf, served by some grumpy twat, 28/04/13. Dark chestnut brown with a good sized beige head. Nose is dark malt, mineral notes, toffee, light spice. Taste comprises treacle toffee, cheescake base, brown sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation. Decent alt.

Wombata (327) - Kobe, JAPAN - MAY 3, 2013
Aroma: roasted sweet malt, grain, notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, and banana. As it warms some light smoke and grassy hop shows through. Flavor: like the nose but the grassy bitter hop quickly attacks and grassy bitterness dominates the finish. Comment: the hops have not integrated with the malt; clearly very young (2/2013 made on date and a 2/2014 drink by date). Active carbonation and very firm bitterness. The hops come across as an almost amateur home brew. I would wait for at least 6 months before trying again. This bottle was reefered so it’s not a problem with storage conditions.

TheJestersBeer (1661) - SWEDEN - APR 15, 2013
Draught. Pours a clear copper with a white head. Malty aroma, caramel, hops, yeast, chocolate. Dry, medium body, mid to high bitterness, balanced CO2. Malty, astringent taste, caramel, hops, yeast, slightly metallic (in a positive way), very clean. Really nice. (2013-03-24)

jookos (761) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 14, 2013
Bottle (bottled a week ago!). Brown clear. Brown malty, good nutty nose with some greeny hoppiness. Body is quite smooth. Bitter, with some hoppy flavours, but mostly rich, a bit bready, brown/butty maltiness. Clean, refreshing. Really nice and fresh.

TURDFERGUSON (3562) - Carrboro, North Carolina, USA - APR 9, 2013
Bottle from M&D. Probably my first altbier and it remains a style I just don’t understand (probably because i am a stupid American). Slightly toasty, some caramel, dark fruits. Roasty, fruity, malt driven beer.

Patrickctenchi (1673) - columbus, Indiana, USA - APR 7, 2013
Pours slightly cloudy brown with a huge , pillowy, tan head. Aroma is malt, light caramel, dust, florals. Taste is slightly woody/earthy. Sweet, changing slowly to a long, dry, pleasant bitter. Very nice.

FatPhil (7494) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - APR 1, 2013
500ml fliptop bottle (One Pint Pb, Helsinki)
Nice dry malty aroma. Looks brilliant - dep red, hige frothy head. Quite weird in the mouth, lots of wood, but strange wineyness, Touch of ginger in the aroma. Crisp palete. Quite active carbonation. Lots of dry earthy hops, maybe soapy, but not in a bad way. Actually quite bitter and sharp, acidic with hop resins. Love the ginger aroma! Prefer the previous bready alt but this is great to.

Light grain aroma with light German floral hops. Clear dark orange color with a large white head. Light sweet beginning with a moderate bitter finish.
