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.

375ml bottle from Pipetown Traders pours a watery amber with LOADS of soapy, off white head. Nose is unique, herbal, some wet sage, some bay leaf, malt, a little dried leaf, some mild grainy notes, some dried citrus peel. Flavor is very herbal, light malt sweetness, some earthy notes, a little cardboard, a little honey comb, some cream soda. Thin finish.

Flaska från SB. Det är svårt att förstå tanken med den här drycken. En överhumlad veteöl? Cuvée av vadå. En VeteIPA skulle jag nog kalla det eftersom den är så kraftigt humlad. Men balansen saknas helt. Väldigt jordig och träig, lätt syrlig och rejält besk. Torr trevlig som måltidsdryck men lite konstig smakbild och sträv rå beska. Ser på äldre omdömen att de är mycket positivare så kanske har den här batchen inte blivit helt lyckad.
