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.

Dark golden in colour, light amber perhaps. A thin white head tops the beer. Great aroma of honey, yeast, wheat, curacao and the freshness of coriander seed. Medium to Light-bodied; Subtle sweet flavours, while some potent spice and freshness finish the taste. Aftertaste of wheat predominantly, some sweetness though. A nice American styled wheat overall, worth a try! I had this 23 ounce beer served on draught at MacGregor's in Rochester, New York.

Tap. Yellow, slightly darker than a a bud. What little aroma I could pick up was that of a cheap beer, with no qualities standing out. Hardly any flavor, a little bitter in the finish. No qualities of a wheat beer in this one. Maybe there was nothing wrong with it, but certainly nothing to enjoy.

Golden colour inded. Slight, very white head, lacy. Nose of chaff and grain. Some slight metallic hint too. In the taste come wheat, grain very much to the fore. Retronasal bitterish, rather clean palate. Watery mouthfeel, a bit carbonation. Aftertaste gives slight acidity due to the wheat and the carbonation. I don't know what to make of this. No phenol/banana as in Bavarian, no Belgian spices for wit, not enough acidity for Berliner - but there's nothing instead!
