750 ML Bottle MJ’s Rare Beer Club 10/6/07: Light golden, hazy, w/ a lasting huge, meringue like head. Laces well! Peppery yeast up front and very strong, as well as dried apricot fruit. Pils malt w/a hint of toffee and a "wheat" malt aroma is also strong. Toasted shows up when it warms. Well balanced but not as spicy as the aroma. Peppery yeast, a slight herbal taste, lighlty sugary sweetness up front, some dried apricot mid palate. Dry finish w/ an herbal/spicy wheat aftertaste.. Oddly refreshing. Higher medium carbonation, lighter body, dry m/f, Nice beer! Nicely complex from malts and yeast for a 6% abv beer!

Bottle 25cl. Pours a muddy gold colour, small head, but lasting. Yeasty aroma, not very complex. Taste is also yeasty and simple, not a bad beer, but nothing special either.

Bottle. Cookies and citrus in the aroma. Cookie caramel and mango in the flavor. Hint of butter in the aftertaste. Not bad.

25 cL bottle. Pours cloudy yellow with a huge and fizzy white head, clearly carbonated. Leathery and yeasty aroma, mild caramel presence. Dry caramel flavour in the initial sip, followed by an almost wheaty/yeasty ester flavour into the finish. Goes classic wheat fruity in the finish.
