Non filtered, non pasteurised beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle. Wheat triple with the slightly sour yet mainly sweet touch of wheat malt. Full-mouthed, cloudy. With a fine, dense head like a blob of cream. The Hofelf equals pure delight.

Bottle at Craig’s tasting 16th Oct 2012
Creamy white yellow, frothy white head, yeast residues
Aroma - soft lemon, bit dirty yeast
Taste - Bad dirty yeast, off flavours, soapy, yukky, off plastic, horrible flavour, yuck
Palate - medium carb - well the palate is wrecked from the main flavour
Overall - Well something went seriously wrong here. Drain pour.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 13.11.2010
Aroma has some soapy citrus and floral notes. Flavour has citrus, some peaches and hints of caramel. Feels a bit too ’stinging’ and sharp. A disappointment after the nice Hoftrol.

(bottle, 33cl) Cloudy, orange golden colour with yeast flakes swimming around and a big but diminishing frothy white head. Yeasty and slightly sweet pale malty aroma with fruity (grape fruit) and spicy hoppy notes. Slightly sweet and sour-tart flavour, medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Yeasty, malty, also slightly wheaty and moderately fruity taste with an underlying spice character; dry and slightly fruity spicy and hoppy finish. Not the best one of the brewery, but nevertheless a likeable brew. 01.III.10

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Cloudy orange, rich lively head. Fruity cookie aroma. Sweet and full bodied with marzipan and buckwheat. Cookies, lots of cookies! Glaced sugar, vanilla, caramel and dried grapefruit peels. Potent and solid.

Bottle, 7.5%. Fruity aroma, slightly farty. Muddy orange colour. OK coriander flavour, quite watery, though. Some yeast in the aftertaste.
