Backlog. 0,44l can from Rastal Craft Master One. Canned in December 2020... Again I like the design of the can and I would take a closer look in the store. Slightly hazy orange beer. Massive white foam. Overcarbed. Very high carbonation. Mouthfeel is oily and pretty thick. Stuffy scent of overripe fruits and yeast. Overripe, dank and stuffy. Hops are faded and bland. Some lemon, grapefruit and grass. Metallic note on the background. Notes of hay from the malts. Ends with dank lemon and bitter grapefruit & grass. Drinkable, but not too enjoyable. Clearly too old. No score, as I don't think this is supposed to taste like this.

One last beer from this brewery. Sadly, I must say I wouldn't buy these beers myself. The quality just hasn't been there with two beers being contaminated and the rest is average at best. The cans are nice looking and easily identified though. Best before 14.12.2021 (so perhaps 6 months old by now but let's see( Temperature: +9 C Orange-ish color, cloudy beer. Tall, quite thick, and long-lasting head: 4,25/5 The nose is quite nice with caramel maltiness going well with the berry and citrusy notes from Mosaic. But when the beer warms up, some kind of mildly tart aroma pops out: 3,25/5 The mouthfeel is medium but feels awkwardly slick... Just like the one I ended up pouring into the sink... Even though the beer might be six months old it should not have a mouthfeel like this: 1,75/5 So this beer is suffering from some kind of contamination as well. But it's not so obvious as in the two others. The taste is a bit buttery, mildly citrus, caramel malt, and finishes with a fruity slide (but that doesn't feel the right kind of fruitiness): 5/15 This beer is drinkable but just not really good one. The brewery's quality... Eh, kind of sucks. I'm glad this is the last one of these beers😅 =5/20 =19,25/50
