Bavaria cannot be any closer - our beer recipe designed by a Bavarian world champion brewmaster Michael Plank, ingredients from Germany and a touch of our clear blue skies occasionally scattered with white clouds that provide the water to brew this lighter somewhat drier wheat beer, tingling the back of your palate for yet another sip and possibly another glass. This open fermented bottle or cask matured masterpiece is prone to confuse your whereabouts
- yes you really are in Namibia enjoying a Bavarian style wheat beer or “Weissbier”.

Tap at Joes Beerhouse, Windhoek. It pours cloudy pale orange with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tangy, green banana, orange, tangerine and clove. The taste is actually not that sweet...crisp, dry, tart, tangerine, orangina, green chalky banana and grain with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Comes across with more tart orange peel instead of sweet banana, which was expected. Not sure if this is meant to be, but it works OK for me.

Tap tasted on Swakopmund August 2013. Large head with sweet taste and aceptable carbonation. A bit light for a german hefeweizen but it was a nice beer in a nice place. Next one please!

Bottle at The Ale House, Chelmsford. Bronze colour, a little cloudy, with a thin off white head. Aroma is a mix of wheat, fruit and yeast. Sweet and sour taste, rather sharp, and far too highly carbonated. Not great.

Rather dark colour, cloudy and dull tan, with a just a thin head. The aroma is a bit musty/yeasty with just a hint of bananas. Sweet, with some footy yeasty...quite yeasty all told. Short shelf life - gets tart fast.

Bottled at 19 glas, Stockholm. Cloudy amber, faint head. Lightly citric banana aroma. Mid sweet with light body and spritzy mouthfeel. Unripe banana, elderflowers and wheat bread. Slight bandaid and some surprising bitterness in the finish. Correct, but not great.

Bottled 300ml (Pikkulintu)
Dark hazy nut brown-amber color, good creamy beige head. Dry wheaty aroma with sour notes and some cardboard. Light-bodied. Some toasted banana, slightly sour, caramel, paper. Feels unclean and not so fresh, but German it is. More like Dunkelweizen than normal one.
