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.

Sampled from bottle @ Danish Ratebeer Gathering 2016, Ulfborg, Day 2. Hazy yellow color, big fizzy white head. Typical over the top hefeweizen aroma of yeast and sweet artificial banana. Taste is wheat, somewhat sweet and banana-ish. Way too fizzy carbonation. Not good.

Hell hefiger Antrunk. Starke Karbonisierung, keine Süße. Spritzig, etwas monoton. Am Strand mit Sicherheit gut. 9/10/9/9//9

Bottle@Danish Ratebeer Summer Gathering 2016 - cloudy light yellow pour with tiny white head. Wheaty and light fruity aroma and taste with some herbal veg type notes, not a fan of this.

Bottle at Erzbierschof Monday Club. Citric aroma, but also some wheat. Not much yeast. Quite bitter for a Hefeweizen. Curiously, there is Brett in it too, and nobody knows if it should be there. It works well though!
