European style witbier created for the Tropics: cloudy, yeasty, fruity, spices with a tingling bubbly citrusy “pomeloish” twist.

Bottle shared at work. Deep golden, no head. Aroma and taste is that of the cheapest lagers’, overwheming, disgusting and unidentifyable sweetness. Light body, average carbo. Nahh.

Draft at the Kuta brewpub. Poured a murky golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is yeast and banana. The flavour is yeasty, with a crisp, dry yeast, crushed banana, bubblegum, herbal, light clove spice palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. A lot better than I was expecting. Consistency at breweries like this is clearly an issue and beer quality can change from batch to batch, but at least this batch was good.

A hazed golden wheat ale with a thick frothy lacing white head. In aroma, light grassy malt, light mineral notes, a bit soapy. In mouth, sweet cloying wheat and banana esters, cloves, light mineral notes, watery. Bottle from a supermarket in Bali.

[backlog] 28-05-15 // bottle in Ubud, Bali. Light hazy yellow colour. Much off flavour, light sour. Not yeasty, very strange, maybe a bad bottle. --- Beer merged from original tick of Stark Wheat on 28 May 2015 at 20:16 - Score: 1.

Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, aftertaste lightsweet and sour, yeasty, spicy notes, nice wheat beer from an unexpected place...

Rich super hazy golden coloured body with a soapy, large white head. Aroma of bananas, cloves, yeast, wheat and a ton of light coriander seed. Medium-bodied; Very wheatie flavour with a ton of rich yeast notes coupled with a lot of banana and coriander seed freshness with a hint of lemon and citrus at the tail end. Aftertaste shows a great refined character with a good yeast kick and the sweet yet slightly sour finish from the banana and the wheat. Overall, very refreshing and easily my favourite beer here on Bali during this trip - well worth searching out for if on the island and stocking up on - luckily they had this one at the minimart closest to my Villa, but I only saw it at one other store that I went to in my six days here. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Circle K at Jl BatuBelig next to the Astana BatuBelig, but also seen at Pepito Market on Jl Petitenget in Seminyak/Kerobokan, Bali Indonesia, this bottle purchased for IDR28,000 on 27-June-2014 sampled a few hours later at my villa.

Draught at Portico, Senayan, Jakarta. Cloudy golden, rich but brief head. Citric tangerine aroma. Mid sweet with light body and well rounded mouthfeel. Flavour of coriander and lime juice.Soft and freshening. Really good wit, glad I dared having another go after their disastrous bottles. Old rating - bottled, in Jakarta. Cloudy straw colour, rich but brief head. Lemony nose. Acrid sourness from evident infection. Medium bodied with spritzy mouthfeel. Lemony dishwater flavour. Completely ruined, more than 1 year before BB date. (1/2/2/2/3 = 1.0)
