bottle, bought at the brewery. Hazy amber colour, large head. Hoppy nose. Full-bodied, rather hoppy with a malty base and hints of caramel.

Bottle - Dark amber body, lasting huge beige head; Not to big but pleasant fresh nose with malt in front; Balanced fresh bitter body; Long pleasantly evolving finish, mostly malt aromas but also a very fresh bitterness. Very drinkable.

Bottle (Dank an Quack-Duck!): Hazy, amber coloured, small, but stable white head; fruity nose, traces of nut-meg; moderate sweetish-sourish flavour, rather light bodied for a beer of 5.5%; sourish-fruity finish with some malty-hoppy influences. Tastes a bit like an average Weizen........

(33cl bottle, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Unclear, amber colour with particles and a short, minimal off-white foamy layer. Yeasty, light-sweet cara-malty and slightly sourish wheaty nose with nutmeg and traces of herbal, slightly spicy hops. Yeasty-bitter flavour with a moderate malty sweetness; slightly cara-malty and nutty taste; moderately dry, yeasty and malt-accented finish with wheaty and shy hoppy notes. Has attributes of a Hefeweizen; also a bit sticky, thus not a session beer (16.07.08).
