3.5 Bottle from Pivotéka Nitra. Nice aroma of red berries. Tastes medium bitter but still rather fresh. Damn, I know this taste very well but cannot recall what it is at all. Good!

3.0 Angenehmes Aroma nach Malz und Karamell mit einem Hauch Frucht. Geschmack leider mit einer störenden, überlagernden Röst-Bitternote wie verbranntes Karamell. Im Abgang relativiert sich die beißende Bitterkeit.

3.8 Bottle. Pours a deep amber with a big tan head. Caramel, peach, red apples, slightly herbal, a little boozy, grains, grass. Light sweetness, turns velvety bitter. Medium body, with lively but soft carbonation. Loads of IPA character, lovely hop notes. Delicious. But I wouldn't have guessed this was a lager in a blind tasting.

3.9 Bottle 33 cl / z’Bierhuus - Münsingen (CH). Coppery beer with a nice off-white head, fine sparkling and laces. Malted aromas, bread, caramel, fruity of orange-citrus. The taste is powerful, syrupy of malt and caramel-toffee with a hop with notes of citrus and herbs, bread spread with bitter orange jam. Not so far from Barley Wine.

4.5 - Bernsteinfarben mit guter, cremiger Schaumbildung - Aromen nach Bitterorangenschalen, tropischen Früchten, Malz und Karamell - passende Carbonisierung - der Antrunk überrascht mit einer Hopfenbitternis, welche die aufgerufenen Aromen nicht vermuten lassen - der ganze Körper bzw. die Textur ist durchgängig sehr ausgewogen - im Mittelteil schwingt eine leichte malzige Süße passend im Hintergrund mit - gegen Ende noch eine angenehme Beigabe von etwas Mandel und Kokos Fazit: Wunderbar ausgewogenes Lager

3.1 Amberkleurig bier met witte schuimkraag. Geur: geparfumeerd, bloemen. Smaak: bitter, fruitig en ietwat moutzoetigheid, 1 fruitig component bevalt me niet al weet ik niet wat. Medium volmondig en koolzuurprikkel. Afdronk: droog bitter.

4.0 Light amber color which could be a little more clear as vienna lagers require, with a wonderful creamy and long lasting foam. Aroma of european noble hops (maybe EKG or Styrian G.), caramel and malty notes, some of which tend to be ta little bit toasty. Good balance between sweet and bitter. Medium body. Average carbonation. Bitter finish. You know, it’s not supposed to have the complexity of a RIS or a belgian, but it’s made so fine, without any single defect, and it’s so pleasant and drinkable that it deserves it all. So good!
