UPDATED: SEP 30, 2011 On draft at Borefts beer festival 2011. Orange/brown colored, small head. Malty nose with some fruity hops. Sweet malty flavor and little bit of hopbitterness in the background, wheat. I’m a big fan of the regular version because of the full malty flavor, but the "wet-hopping" (i think the Christoffel couple made this up themselves) works pretty good as well (and a lot better than the dry-hopping imho).

Borefts Beer Festival 3. Hazy amber beer, little cream coloured head. Light dry palate. Semi crisp. Sweet malt with a bubblegum undertone. Oxidised aged tasting malt. Doesn’t hang together for me.

Boreft Beer Festival 2011: Cloudy copper with a small off-white head. Grassy hop aroma with caramel and bready malt. Sweet caramel and fruity flavour with a grassy hop finish

Pours cloudy amber with a beige head. Aroma is wheat, caramel, fruit, grass and pine. Flavour is wheat, light flower, perfume, grass and pine.

Sample at Borefts Beer Festival 2011. Pours a hazy and nutbrown beer with an offwhite head with an orange hue. The aroma is malt, sweetness and hops. The flavor follows the nose with additional straw and grass. The palate is dry with some sweetness. Overall a good beer.

Der süße Hopfenantrunk wirkt etwas ungelenk, das Bier zu süß, sogar zuckrig. Unausgewogen, Kürbis, man weiß nicht, in welche Richtung das Bier gehen soll. Naja... /8/7/7//7

Reddish beer with a small white head. Some sweet charamel, light hops both in aroma and flavor. Where is the wheat beer?

Draught @ Borefts 2011. Amber, with no head. Grass, pine, grapes, apple, caramel and honey in the aroma. Medium dense with low carbonation. Refreshing.

Borefts 2011. Mild caramel aroma. Almost clear dark copper colour. Strange spicy finish. Sugary.

Draught @ BBF2011. Orange pour, creamy white head. Aroma is floral, creamy, fruity and some cleaning fluid? Flavor is sweet fruits, bitter and floral. A bit strange.
