UPDATED: DEC 26, 2022 Ein großer Fruchtkorb in der Nase: Grapefruit, Litschi, Ananas und Orange kann ich entdecken. Es gibt aber sicher noch weitere Aromen , die ich jetzt hier vergessen habe. Das Bier ist gelb und trüb mit einem Stich ins Orange. Der Schaum ist feinporig und sehr standhaft. Im Antrunk Karamell Noten, die aber schon von den Hopfen Hallertauer Taurus, dem Hallertauer Saphir, dem Cascade und dem Amarillo angegangen wird. Im Abgang dann übernehmen die Hopfen das Geschmacksruder und der Obst Korb mit Grapefruit , orange und tropischen Früchten macht die Verkostung zum Früchte Ratequiz. Dabei ist die Bitterkeit nicht störend und die Rezenz stark genug um das IPA süffig zu machen. Ein sehr ausgewogenes Bier, das aber für Einsteiger Nicht geeignet ist. Selbst für geübte Verkoster ist es sehr komplex und mit nur einer Flasche kaum zu entschlüsseln. Ihr wisst was ich meine (.-: 08-2018

UPDATED: AUG 7, 2022 Hazy golden with a thick white head. Little aroma. Mild hoppy taste, some citrus and grainy flavors. Gentle bitterness.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2020 Bottle. Hazy yellow golden, large white foamy head. Tropical fruity nose, sweeter with some citruses. Moderate bitterness, drier. Lasting aftertaste. Light body. Nice and proper.

UPDATED: AUG 6, 2020 Light amber with a frothy white head. Deep haze with lots of floaters. Aroma full of citrus and berries. Taste is bitter the whole way through with some mild, yeasty sweetness underneath. Medium to full bodied, balanced carbonation. Not bad.

UPDATED: AUG 3, 2020 Aroma is tropic fruit lime star fruit guava pineapple and also toffee and caramel. Taste is the same sweet rich toffee with bitter star fruit and hops. Quite spiky on the tongue but the rich body accompanies it well. Good drinkability and very nice combination of flavours. Nice.

UPDATED: FEB 28, 2020 Pours a cloudy golden amber coloration with a small, fluffy head. Smells of biscuity malt and dank, herbal hops with notes of tangerine, mango and gooseberry. Taste is a good balance of biscuity, very slightly caramelly malt and quite fruity, dank, herbal, spicy and slightly floral hops, with notes of tangerine, mango and gooseberry. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some dank, herbal and gooseberry notes lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a amedium body and carbonation. This is really more of an IPA than a Pale, but strikes a very nice balance between the German and American varieties, being quite herbal, spicy, floral and fruity at the same time, with some rather nice peppery and citrus/tropical notes. Not your typical IPA, but rather a 'German IPA', perhaps, which Hopfenstopfer seems to specialize in and does rather well. Certainly a little unusual, but rather well done in my opinion, as I can really appreciate the interplay of German and American hops here.
