MoritzF (7402) - Bochum, - JAN 31, 2012
(bottle) Cloudy, chestnut-brown colour with a tall and slightly beige foamy head. Yeasty and slightly soapy wheat-malty nose with notes of red berries and a lactic touch. Mildly sweet and slightly sour flavour, light bodied with a lively, almost sharp carbonation. Slim wheaty taste with fruity notes and a tinge of phenolic spice; slightly sourish and bitter-tart finish. Unconvincing. 24.XII.11

Idiosynkrasie (540) - Bielefeld, GERMANY - JAN 2, 2012

EithCubes (3340) - GERMANY - NOV 13, 2011
Bottle by 14.04.12, nice high fill line. Oooh, nose is brimming with good-quality bubblegum and banana, lighter yeast and wheat. Cloudy, murky chestnut body with a rocky beige head. Very airy taste is bitter with light acetone, hint of cracker with time. Not sweetness but there is some mineral content, unfortunately not enough to redeem. Muddled malt in a medium body.
