3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 SaulusHumulus (47) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 5, 2009
UPDATED: JUN 23, 2009 Bottled. Pours really hazy and brownishly orange with a beautiful, thick head. Nice aroma is yeasty, wheaty, fruity (mainly banana) and slightly spicy. When cold this is really carbonated and therefore appears to be quite acidic, but as it warms up the beer gets softer and turns very sweet. Flavor is aromatic, fruity (banana), yeasty and wheaty. This was the first, though probably not the last wheat beer that I liked.
