A hazed blonde weisse with a thick collapsing white head. In aroma, classic lemon and Epsom salts, fruity and smooth, quite nice. In mouth, lightly sweet and fruity malt with smooth lemon notes, banana, refreshing and light, with sustained tartness and light Brett. 750 ml bottle from LCBO, 7.95$.

Such a love and hate thing with Nickel Brook. Love their Old Kentucky Bastard, Cuvée Reserve Ale but have to call this one a miss. Pours a cloudy light yellow, BIG white airy head, which works it way down to a ring without lacing. Nose of souriness that leans a lot more toward vinegar that sour apples, a tich, that’s right a tich, of soap and a nearly non-present wheat malts. The taste is thin wheat followed by lacto-sour grapes with a mild wood and cig-ash finish. Lot’s going on here but not loving it.

On tap at Bar Volo, pours a hazy pale yellow with a tiny head. Aroma is pretty lemony, like quite a young Berliner, and wheat. Flavour is similar, with lightly tart lemony notes, wheat, and light citrus. A young beer, but highly drinkable. Good stuff.
