dorain	2.7 Sudwerk Western Rider Aus der Flasche im 2014-06 getrunken. Typischen IPA wo die Fruchtnoten fast nur im Aroma eine Rolle spielen. Am Gaumen dann doch recht bitter. Schöner Durstlöscher. Friday, July 12, 2019

Goldbarren	3.8 Sudwerk Wright Flight Dass es in der Schweiz eine lebhaft Craftbier-Szene gibt, ist inzwischen bekannt. Innerhin ist ein für viele ein sehr gutes Geschäft. Einige Biere der Sudwerk-Brauer findet man sogar schon im Supermarkt. Die Biere der Brauerei haben meist einen geschichtlichen Hintergrund, der in einem Text auf dem Etikett und der homepage erklärt wird. Dieses Bier ist dem ersten motorisierten Flug der Gebrüder Wright aus dem Jahre 1903 gewidment. Die homepage schreibt: "Der Beharrlichkeit ihres Tuns, dem Mut ihres Schaffens und dem Pioniergeist ihres Wesens widmen wir dieses famose Wheat Bier – Kristallweizen, ein Höhenflug händischer Braukunst, mit limitierter Absturzgefahr." Ein allemal gutes Bier Friday, October 19, 2018
Goldbarren	3.6 Sudwerk Summit Eine wahrlich angenehme Überraschung. Dieses Bier, das es seit 2012 gibt, ist ein gut gelungenes IPA mit Summit-Hopfen gebraut. Dieser wird gut dosiert wodurch das Bier eine angenehme Herbe bekommt ohne widerlich bitter zu werden. Friday, October 19, 2018
Goldbarren	3.1 Sudwerk Western Rider Ein interessanter Versuch der Eidgenossen neben dem im Lande vorherrschenden Heineken-Dominanz ein etwas anderes Bier zu Brauen. Kommt vielleicht nicht an amerikanische Pale Ales hin, aber auf jeden Fall ein gutes Bier. Friday, October 19, 2018

hauxe	3.3 Sudwerk Pacific Pioneer (2016- ) Pours dark brown from the bottle. The tan head fades away. Aroma is rich with chocolate. Hints of unripe plum in the background. Taste is bittersweet to sweet up front, full of chocolate and roasted grains. The roasted flavors dominate the finish. Body is fairly light, a touch too light, carbonation is mild.
