Inspired by an old Celtic word for Beer, “Curmi/Cuirim”, this delightfully refreshing wheat beer echoes the Celtic heritage of the region where it is brewed today. Curim has a higher hop rate than the mainstream wheat beers which leaves a slight tart residue, enough to balance the delicate fruity flavours of peach, banana and plum.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of straw, wheat, and a bit of fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, wheat, and spices, leading to a dry finish.

A dark yellow beer with a small head. The aroma is a lovely sweet light wheat aroma. The flavor is a sweet wheaty flavor - but not fantastic.

Bottle at Appellation Wines tasting. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Aroma of honeyed malt and straw. Flavour of grain and lemon sweets. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This doesn’t taste of very much.

500ml bottle. Slightly hazy golden colour with a small smooth white head. Aroma is mostly wheat, a mild maltiness, grains. Strange taste for a weizen, the wheatiness is very raw, with some yeast, hints of stone fruits and hops but it doesn’t do much to improve it. Not a great wheat beer unfortunately.
