Über Düber (2017): Imperial Sparkling Ale
Bauhaus Brew Labs

 

for the style, this one isn't too bad - color is orangy and has some haze, mild herb and bread notes to the nose and mouth with no real fruit or floral notes, and a medium feel to the mouth.

didn't really sparkle for me - no rainbows, no unicorns, no glitter, no nothing. a good beer, mostly what i would have expected perhaps, but kinda fell short on the name.

 

 

Imperial Sparking Ale pours a hazy but bright golden color, with a small, but lacing head. Skunkey aroma. Taste is a bit skunky and earthy, lots of grains and a warm finish. Good body and feel. Overall tastes "cheap", grainy and chemically.

 

 

I believe this is identical to the 2016 Uber Duber. Golden color with a little bit of haze. A solid finger of head forms and slowly settles to a thin cap. Aroma of tropical fruit, mild dank, and a touch of skunk. Nice tropical fruit hop flavor combined with the dry malt makes a good combination. Bitterness is a bit much though. Medium body but the carbonation is not what I would call sparkling or effervescent. Lays a little flat on the palate.

This beer pours a clear gold with a large head. The aroma features honey, gunpowder, cannabis, and green onion. The flavor is rather herbal at first, with notes of parsley and sage and a mild bitterness, with dry honey, cedar, woodsy hops, and a tocuh of french bread sweetness. The mouthfeel is fairly full but quite fizzy. Overall this is a unique and tasty beer - it feel Belgian, but without the yeasty flavors, much more English style hopping.
