Gangstergafje (2697) - Capelle aan den IJssel, NETHERLANDS - NOV 27, 2021UPDATED: NOV 27, 2021 27-11-2021; bottle; at home (bought at Saveur Bière, as part of their September 2021 discovery box).
The looks of the beer are nice. It is a clear beer, with a nice amber colour and a lovely frothy white layer of foam. Foam retention is garage but a nice thick drape is left on the beer. Looks good.
The beer has a nice aroma. The malts are pretty prominent. They give some biscuity aromas, but mainly some caramel and green. Hops give some nice herbal notes, but also some zest. There is a nice touch of lemon, quite fresh. The freshness of the hops goes well together with the crisp malts. Yeast gives some slight spicy notes. Quite nice!
The taste of the beer is also quite nice. Bitter hops, sweet malts and quite an acidity from the malts in a citrus note. Quite nice! Well balanced.
The mouthfeel is also quite nice. Medium body, smooth texture and a nice medium carbonation. The finish of the beer has a nice hoppy note, with quite a citrus note. All in all, a surprisingly fresh Märzen/Oktoberfest Bier. Lovely.
mkcmagico (1100) - Mezokövesd, HUNGARY - NOV 22, 2021UPDATED: NOV 24, 2021 0,5 bottle. A klasszikus márkahű kinézet csatos üvegben és a címke is hagyományos. Szép bronzvörös színe van, habja is érdekes kicsit capuccino színű, nem túl tartós, de vékonyan megmarad. Nagyon finom illata van. Mazsolás, gyümölcsös, malátás, nyalókás :) Ír vörös ale-hez hasonló az íze, annyira nem testes, de épp nem is vizes. Karamelles, cukros , és sajnos kicsit savanykás ízvilág. Egyébként finom, jó sszomjoltó. Illata ahogy melegszik még jobb, konyakos, gyümölcsös, érdekes.
***
The classic branded look in buckled glass and the label are also traditional. It has a nice bronze red color, its foam is also an interesting little cappuccino color, it is not very durable, but it remains thin. It smells very delicate. Raisins, fruity, malt, lollipop :) It tastes like Irish red ale, not so full-bodied, but not wet. Caramel, sugary, and unfortunately a bit sour taste. Otherwise delicious, good sedative. It smells even better as it warms up, cognacy, fruity, interesting.
ThreeCats (1210) - CZECH REPUBLIC - NOV 14, 2021UPDATED: NOV 14, 2021 Nice clear copper color with a foamy head. Aroma grainy with light toast and caramel notes. Taste is light with caramel notes
Cantabrian (1211) - Christchurch NZ, now Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - NOV 13, 2021UPDATED: NOV 13, 2021 Yes, this is better than the Paulaner, with a darker, more cloudy appearance and a more respectable, creamy off-white head. The aroma of caramel and again that juicy-fruit touch, almost like a Weizen. Flavour is still lacking, a bit more of a body, and overall another overrated beer - which certainly does not explain the wonders of Oktoberfest.
s3quin (711) - Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, ENGLAND - NOV 1, 2021UPDATED: NOV 1, 2021 Aroma: Caramel, grain, bread. Clean.
Appearance: Deep gold, amber, good white head. Crystal clear.
Taste: Sweetish, low bitterness.
Palate: Medium body, average carbonation.
Overall: Good, well-executed Märzen.
