The White Donkey is a most surprising and unexpected Weiss beer. Brewed with equal measures of wheat and barley malts, White Donkey’s exotic character arises from a marriage between East & West - Galaxy hops from Australia wedded to more staid Austrian varieties which lead to a totally original result. Other hops participate in the blend, but some secret ingredients should remain so…
Fresh, with crisp acidity and exotic citrus aromas that dominate its lovely and relatively bitter – for a Weiss beer – finish.
A Seasonal offering, in very limited quantities.

Bottle from my manager. Cloudy dark gold. Thick foamy white head. Aroma has bitter herbs and citrus. Resin. Hints of fruit sweetness. The flavour is similar - a bitter herb citrus and hop led Hefe. No particularly evident sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Nice.

5.0% abv. Magus, mõru, nisune, tsitrus, puuviljane, banaan, kumm. Ok, rohkem hopfen weisse, kuna päris humalane.

0,75 flaske fra bryggeriets bottle shop, delt med skibsrederen etter forberedelsene til maritim juleølsmaking des-17: uklar korngylden med ok skum. Koriander, citrus, gjær, hint av urter (og tyggis?) i såvel aroma som smak. Citrusbitterhet i ettersmaken. Slank og lettdrikkelig, så den hadde nok vært perfekt på hotellbalkongen. Men så havnet den altså i kofferten.
