Bottle at Chris_O bottlefest 2007. Amber colour with beige head. Malty, has some fruit, bit of strawberry, nasty aroma. Not that great.

Bottled. Clear, amber beer with a beige head. Wheat, banana-caramel and some metallic notes in the aroma. Some spicy hints as well. The flavor is much the same, but without the metallic notes. Medium body with a bit too low carbonation level. Sweet, caramel-ish finish with some spicyness. Nice try Aass. (061123)

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Brown colour. Light malty and heavy yeasty aroma. Nice flavor, average finish. Oily palate. I think this should be placed under dunkelhefe.

(30cl bottle, courtesy of Papsoe) Clear, amber colour with a medium-sized, lacing beige foam. Sweet and acidic, almost vinous nose with notes of wheat-malt and red berries. Sweet and moderately sour flavour, light bodied with a medium carbonation. Toast-malty, slightly wheaty taste with fruity accents; toasty, slightly sour-fruity finish with unpleasant notes of metal.

A Mes rate: Bottle at Chris O’s extravaganza. Copper colour. Chunky but short lived head. Like a wheaty lager with some very slight sweetness. Little thin in the mouth. Nothing exciting at all but drinkable enough.
