Honeyed wheat beer.
Wave was derived from the inspiration of Bavarian brewing. Much experimentation was required in timing the bittering hops to create a beer with a sweet banana taste at the start and smooth wheaty finish. It has since been heralded as a marvellous representation of Bavarian brewing.

Bottle shared at the Tropical Croydonia tasting. It pours hazy golden with a small, bubbly white head. The nose is soft, doughy, brioche, wheat, orange rind, clove rock, candied peel and orange chewits. The taste is smooth, toasty, watery, dough, cracker, pepper, dry chalky notes, stewed orange and sweet banana. Light-medium body, fine carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Not bad stuff. Drinkabel enough.

Tropical Croydonia Bottle Share. Thanks to Scopester. Lightly hazy gold beer, residual pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry. Low fine carbonation. Light pale malts, semi sweet. A kinda milky soapy floralness with a whisper of grain. Light over ripe citrus. Light finish. Just about scrapes a pass.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Paul. Pours lightly hazy yellow with a creamy white head. The aroma holds dry, flaked wheat, faint citrus peel. Light sweet flavor with subtle melon, bubblegum, more wheat. Light bodied with average carbonation. Nicely balanced to finish with wheat sweetness, some mellow bitter citrus peel, lemon, gum. Quite nice.

Bottle from Drinkmonger. Hazy golden body with a white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of banana and metal. Flavour follows suit with a hint of apple. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. This doesn’t stand out from the crowd but it drinks easily.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - golden amber and cloudy. Nice head. Nose - ripe banana and light spice. So far so good. Taste - ripe or overripe banana again. Creamy and light spice backdrop. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - well I am surprised. A weizen that stands up and it’s not from Bavaria.
