look: 2.75 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25
Orange slightly murky body with fine carbonation, head is off-white and dissipates rapidly to nothing not even a small rim, no lacing.
smells of Vienna malt and pines, wood resin, lemon and later the needles of the Larch tree coming through
taste is sweet malts with a woody tartness, resiny, fruity like grapes
plenty of fine carbonation, little astringent
There is a complex taste and to a minor degree also aroma. I do not get too much of the cones and needles of the Larch tree that where used in making this beer. However, though the flavors in a way complement each other, I do not like it. If it was more pronounced resiny and had more of the alpine forest aroma I would label it interesting. But in this case it is a fail as it is neither harmonic nor challenging. In my opinion these kind of experiments should be left to the home brewers and only be sold once the sweet spot is found. I expected more from the Bierkulturhaus.
