Hello, beer lovers! 🍻

381st #beersaturday in a row! I'm home again, tired from the day, and a new beer will do me good.
It's not cold, but there's plenty of humidity, and hopefully, I'll wash away the sweet taste in my mouth from the whole day. Sweet taste? We've been making apple juice all day.

There are two cans in the fridge, one German and one French; we'll see which fits better. The best would be both. First, the one with less alcohol.

Veltins Grevensteiner Naturtrübes Landbier

Brewed by Brauerei C.& A. Veltins, Meschede, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Can, 0.5 l, alcohol 5.2% ABV, 23 IBU.
It's Kellerbier or Zwickelbier style, young, unfiltered, unpasteurized traditional German beer.

What do the Master Brewers say?

Back to the roots: With Grevensteiner, the C. & A. Veltins brewery brings time-honored brewing craftsmanship back to life - in the tradition of the twin brothers Carl and Anton Veltins at the beginning of the last century! The beer presents itself with a silky matt amber color with orange reflections and a velvety soft head. The complex aroma is initially dominated by caramel flavors with a slight undertone of honey, roasted almonds and fresh, fruity notes that are particularly reminiscent of green apple.

🍺

It looks like it's a complex beer brewed by a traditional recipe. Nice.

The beer is amber in color, and the creamy head disappears quickly. It has no odor. The first sip goes down the throat smoothly, and in the mouth, I taste a slight malty sweetness, hints of hop bitterness, and caramel and biscuit flavors.
The bitterness of the hops lingers in the aftertaste for a while.

The beer is fresh and drinkable. The flavors are complex, with sweetness predominating. It is not a bad beer, but nothing stands out from the average. Although it's available locally, I bought it in an E-Leclerc store in Ljubljana, and I doubt I'll have another sample in my fridge.

I mentioned that I was pretty tired. I had been at my mother's house all day, where we were making apple juice from apples. Of course, it was very sweet, and I wanted a bitter beer instead.
One quick gif animation. A more detailed post will follow when I have time for it :)

We squeezed about 50 liters of apple juice. A little, in good vintages, we have even 300 liters. But enough.
We'll drink some of it, and it will go for vinegar when it turns sour.

Licorne Slash Mango

Brewed by Brasserie Licorne, Saverne, Grand Est, France.
Can, 0.5 l, alcohol 8% ABV, IBU 12.
It's Flavored-Fruit style beer, ale or lager, infused with any kind of fruits, but still recognisable as a beer.

What do the Master Brewers say?

Mango-flavored beer. Behind its light amber color, Slash Mango is all the paradox of a tropical sunset in full daylight. Its discreet bitterness gives way to an exotic, tangy fruity bouquet that strikes the perfect balance between warmth and sweetness. In this wildcorne, the full character of tropical fruit explodes on the palate.

🍺

Hmmm, maybe I didn't make a good selection. I wanted something bitter...

The beer is a light, clear yellow with a bit of head. It has a distinct mango aroma. The sip goes down the throat smoothly, with the extreme sweetness of mango in the mouth - too strong for me, and the alcohol.
In the aftertaste, it all disappears.

I wouldn't say I like it. The overly pronounced sweet, fruity taste of the mango overpowers everything. There is nothing else. More sweetness than the Radlers. I admit that I took it mainly because of the attractive design. I was expecting some IPA bitterness and mango flavor, but I only got turbo mango sweetness, like some syrup. Naive me :)
If the experts from Ratebeer and Untappd say it's still a beer, so be it. I don't touch it anymore.
