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. Cloudy, ruby red glowing, brown colour with huge, frothy, fully lasting, moderately lacing, off-white to beige head. Hoppy and yeasty aroma, fruity, notes of grapes, some orange zest, a touch of caramel. Taste is moderately sweet fruity, bitter hoppy overtones, hints of berries, grapes, orange, orange zest, a touch of candy fruit. Very nice.

Bottle at my 5k. It pours deep amber with a thick light tan head. The nose is earth, orange peel, mandarin, candied peel, sherbet and orange sponge cake. The taste is crisp, doughy, orange, candied peel, toast, spice and good bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Well rounded and flavoursome.

Bottle from Drinkmonger. Hazy brown body with a large off-white head. Lively carbonation. Excellent lacing. Wonderful aroma of vine tomatoes, grapefruit, candy and dark cherries. Flavour of pineapple and yeast. Quite boozy. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Light fizz. I’m not getting much wheat in this, but who cares, it’s delicious. A beer brings that something new with each sip.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours clear light brown, thin off-white head. Big floral nose, lots of passion fruit too. Taste has a good bitterness, not really getting any wheat anywhere. Splendid last beer of the night though.
