Brodies_Best (52) - Auckland Central, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 14, 2012
Cloudy typical wheat beer with foamy head that disapates but stays quite low with steady stream of bubbles. Aroma and palette of banana and dried apricot, lingers for a while. A little bit sweet but well balanced. Not a fan of this style.

A fairly uncomplicated wheat beer, aromas and flavour dominated by lemon peel rather than banana, bubblegum and cloves. Sadly this beer’s production has been halted by a thumping great earthquake in Christchurch. Hopefully it’ll be back in production in time for summer as it occupies a good space in the market as a bit of an eye opener for the mainstream beer crowd.
