Draft at the Martin's Bräu, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. Enjoyed on October 5 2018.
Murky reddish brown color with a fluffy white head. Really fresh fruity hoppy aroma. The flavor is maltiness with some honey sweetness and mild fruitiness. Reminds me of the beers from Plevna (a brewery in my home town). A really nice surprise.

Martin’s Bräu / Braukollektiv Cream Ale
(Anfang AUG18) Draught glass after MB Pils, rounds with KyotoLefty. - - In a way a mirror image of last year's Freiburgsch Kölsch collab, substituting Spitzmalz for corn and double-barreling top- & bottom-fermenting yeasts to keep that typical Martin's Bräu malt sweetness at bay. Result has a certain density that in the few other cream ales I've tasted tended to be more crisp and lighhearted. There is a pleasant layeredness to the yeast&malt SW-Hausbrauerei sweetness and good familiar EU bitterness to keep it drinkable. Otherwise, trying this back-to-back with a 0,5L of bittersweet, Tettnang-driven naturtrübes Hauspils, I'd have to say they are pretty close.

Martin’s Bräu Hefe Weizen
Bue à la pression à la brasserie. Couleur ambrée trèèès trouble, mousse faiblarde. Au nez ça paraît d’abord épicé, puis surtout très levuré. En bouche en revanche, c’est la levure qui fait massivement acte de présence avec pas grand chose d’autre en renfort. Carbo assez violente, corps faible, amertume faible, bref, pas de quoi valoriser la chose. Plutôt mauvais...

Martin’s Bräu / Braukollektiv Freiburgsch
Tap at Martin’s Bräu, Mai2017. - A long-due homebrew favourite gone Mai seasonal on quickly depleted Martin’s Bräu Tap: this Wieß-Kölsch that double-dare not speak its name, ergo Freiburgsch. Appropriately served in a minimug rather than a 0,2L Stange. - Luminous hay yellow pour with an appetising buttermilk cloud suspended in it. Aroma of fresh wet hay, melissa and dried lemon peel along with a subtle helping of yeasty dairy proteins. Slick, aromatic and easygoing green bitterness with some citrus pith and grasses (nettle, melissa) in well-tacted accord with a biscuit&hay body, slightly slick with again some unfiltered yeast proteins and with an underlying cake sweetness that seems to come with the terroir (soft Schwarzwald water?). DE or US Cascades? - Nice stab at the style which I am very partial to, even though the Ehrenfelder Braustelle Helios remains unsurpassed in this regard in terms of modest Gasthaus Hausbier.

Martin’s Bräu Dunkel Export
- kastanienbraun, mit guter, anhaltender Schaumbildung - leichte Aromen nach Malz und etwas Karamell - passende Carbonisierung - der Antrunk zeigt eine gute Balance von Malz und Hopfen auf - für ein Export ist genau diese Hopfenbitternis ungewohnt – aber angenehm - bestimmend - der gesamte Verlauf zeigt einen schlanken Körper, aber auch eine gewisse Langweiligkeit Fazit: Ausgeglichenes Export ohne Höhen und Tiefen

Martin’s Bräu Pils
- trübes Zitronengelb mit guter, anhaltender Schaumbildung - zarte Aromen nach Citrus, Hopfen und gut dosierter Säure - etwas zu sprudelige Carbonisierung - genau diese Kohlensäure stört zuerst etwas im Antrunk - der Vorteil ist, man gewöhnt sich relativ schnell daran - die feine und ausgewogene Herbe hat von Anfang an das Sagen - einzig die Citrusnote kann da bedingt, aber gezielt unterstützend mithalten - der Körper bleibt über den ganzen Verlauf angenehm schlank, ohne je ins Wässrige zu kippen - der Abgang prickelt schlussendlich noch etwas herb-zitronig nach

Martin’s Bräu / Braukollektiv Brown Ale
Draught pints at source upon launch JUL 2016 and mildly aged during Tettnanger Hopfenwandertag. - Creamy, near-Nutella nutty Maris Otters dunked in a brewpub Dunkel, ale yeast doing its sessioning job with a Residual sticky buttercream touch. Serviceable herbal hop profile to let the toasted brown bread and hazelnut malts take modest centre stage. An entry-level cross-channel baby Horst for local thirst.

Martin’s Bräu Saphir Lager
Draught at source, July 2016. Hazy yellowish pour, denser white head. Lovely aromas of herbal melissa, mint, a minimal shot of "perfumed buttermilk" and sweet SW Kellerpils malts. Could be a touch drier - honeymalt and residual yeast slickness hampers drinkability a bit, which is otherwise expectedly high at this abv.
