taunusmies (217), Finland Feb 16, 2008 Brown clear colour with a large foamy head. Nice wide malty taste with roastiness. Aroma has some spices and chocolate. A slightly light body. Very innovating, indeed.
Heathen (445), Riverside, New Jersey, USA Jul 6, 2008 THOUGHTS: Very nice. Aroma just kept getting better as it warmed. The flavor is a little watery, but that’s all the better for a summer refresher. I actually think these darker wheats are more refreshing than the lighter ones.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a murky, light to medium brown with an average-sized, off-white head that mostly diminished and left fair lacing. The aroma was wheat, spices, banana and very light chocolate malt. The initial flavor was lightly sweet and acidic; while the finish was light to moderately sweet, moderately acidic and a little sour with an average to long duration. There was malt, wheat, yeast and spice. Also some banana and slight chocolate. The light to medium body was dry with quite fizzy carbonation and a light astringent and also dry finish.
jblendy (450), Hawthorne, New Jersey, USA Jul 2, 2008 Pours cloudy amber brown with a fizzy off-white head. Subtle fruity aroma with a bit of yeast. Flavor is slightly fruity, with a bit of sugary malt, but very watered down. Palate is light and a bit fizzy, but not unpleasant. Not bad, but a bit off for the style. joekinty (149), rockledge, Florida, USA Jul 1, 2008 tons of cramy white head aromas of plum molasses banana sugar nice thick mouthfeel one of my favorite beers azlondon (456), Greater London, England Jun 30, 2008 Appearance: Dark brown, cloudy.
