Appearance - 5 | Aroma - 6.5 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6
sweet floral aroma, somewhat artificial, wheaty base. in a way refreshing, like perfumey french wheat beers or lemonade. also subtle notes of wild yeast, like belgian ale. while the initial impression is flavored shitty wheat, the belgian yeasty notes win over and it ends up as interesting belgian yeast driven wheat experiment. So a likeable aroma after all, just needs a bit of time.
rhubarb pale red/yellow, white head. unclear with particles, probably yeast. This is expected in a wheat ale.
flavor is fairly harmless belgian yeast and wheat driven ale, with only subtle notes from the aronia and hyldebblomst they added. there is some nice hoppy bitterness that keeps it refreshing, although the hoppy end gets a bit too herbal, not aromatic hoppy. In the end, this is a crazy belgian yeast driven wheat ale, if you like weird, it's fairly okay - and it tastes like micro or traditional belgian, with all the character you'd expect.
