With the pandemic series, the idea was born to release all our beers in series of 5 to 6 beers, with themes that are currently on our minds. Coping is a strategy that helps ease stress, navi- gate challenging situations, and alleviate anxiety. For the artwork of our COPING series, we created a design that morphs between an electron micrograph of the COVID-19 virus and a beautiful landscape, symbolizing finding beauty even in the face of adver- sity. As we reflect on this period, we acknowledge the progress it has brought, while also questioning whe- ther the insights gained and the progress made have unfortunately regressed. So take your time sipping this beer and ponder. Or just fuck this shitty time. Cheers.

Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and tropical, citrus and stone fruit hops, with notes of papaya, tangerine and peach, as well as herbal accents of dill and mint. Taste is an excellent balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, herbal and slightly resinous and woody hops, with tropical, citrus and stone fruit notes of mango, papaya, pineapple, coconut, grapefruit, tangerine and peach, as well as herbal and woody accents of dill, mint and cedar wood, with some pine coming through as well. Finishes with a light bitterness and some mango, tangerine, peach, dill and cedar wood lingering in the aftertaste. Soft, pillowy mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This here is proof once again that Atelier Vrai is making the best NEIPAs in Germany by a long shot these days, not needing to fear international comparison either. Super expressive, vibrant and juicy hops, with the Sabro really standing out here with a caleidoscope of flavors. I don't even like Sabro that much, but I cannot argue with the results here. The sheer variety of flavors is just amazing here, making for a very enjoyable and interesting drinking experience. Mouthfeel is also really soft and pillowy.
