Tasting
Poured it has an attractive hazy deep blonde to almost amber color and a beige-white head. Going on the look alone it made us eager to have a sip. The aroma has hints of orange peel, some caramel and quite a bit of yeast and malts. Underlying there is a smell phenols that gives it a less enjoyable (slightly chemical) touch. Our first sip brought a rather fruity touch with a hint of honey to develop into yeast and malts and end in dry, bitter, earthy hop finish carrying a rather metallic and alcoholic aftertaste. Relentlessness as Mysticum themselves, the strong, almost hard liquor finish might be not to everyone’s taste. We’d recommend to drink the beer as long as it’s nice and cold, cause the warmer the beer get, the stronger the rather chemical taste gets.
