Braastad (118) - FINLAND - MAY 11, 2013
Semi-hazy with eager head. Faint banana and yeast on the aroma. Flavor has even less than the aroma, but much the same. A bit sour aftertaste.

Typical wheat beer aroma. Watery body but considering the ABV it’s not too bad. A light beer. Not bad but nothing exciting either.
