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.

dark hazy amber color. Strange nose of rye, crack wheat, chocolate malt. Some what sour , malty mouth. The rye adds an odd character and I understand they are trying to do something unique, but it comes off a bit muddled. Strange banana clove finish. Odd beer, wouldn’t order again, but glad I tried it.

A - 4 fingers. Off white creamy head. SRM of 12. Brown red dark.
S - Berries fruit. Mango apricot and peach. Raspberry. Mild pine scent and yeast.
T - Nice big wheat taste. Slight berry seeds. Tangy but on the low end. Very slight pine hops at the finish. Pretty spicy and heavy bready yeast which doesn’t match the other flavors.
M - 25% carbonation. Medium body. Weird grassy dry bread sort of finish in my mouth.
O - It’s an okay beer. Not great. 71/100.
