This beer was inspired by the dark wheat beers or dunkelweisse of Germany. It is dark auburn with a huge off-white foam and emanates a sublime mix of tropical fruit aromas from the Nelson Sauvin dry hopping (mango and passion fruit) and clove and banana notes from the Bavarian yeast strain. The use of wheat malt to make up about half of the grist gives a slight acidity and bready feel. The finish is dry and reminiscent of dark, bitter chocolate.

No pop when I opened the bottle and a small thick fizzy tan head that quickly settled out. Aroma’s caramel malt and a hint of tart. Flavors similar to nose, on the flat side. Has a slight medicinal finish.

Tap at Maxs. Unfiltered thick brown burgundy body. Creamy beige head. Creamy, unique malt tones. Malty, but not outright sweet like most Brown Ales. The wheat adds some thickness. A touch dry, chalky, but overall an enjoyable brew. Some fruity ale notes come out the more it warms up. Drinkable, clean body.

Bottle thanks to Joe. Appearance - hazy amber with some head. Nose - dried orange and light funk. Taste - tangy dried orange and light white pepper. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - good beer. Quite like a saison.

Bottle shared during Scopey’s 5K tasting - Croydon, London. Cheers! Pours cloudy, dark gold with a creamy white head. The nose holds rich pale bread, yeast, florals. Medium sweet flavor, quite hoppy, with notes of pine, some alcohol, dank grass. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish rich citrus fruits. Not bad overall.
