On tap at Craft Stellenbosch. Pours murky dull blonde with a white head. Dry esters and dusty dry grass on the nose. Flavour has a thin body, dry esters, some damp straw. It's very pretty average.

Bottled. Hazy golden colour with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is bready, grainy, sme yeast, banana and mild floral notes. Flavour is wheat, yeast, bread and some mild spices. A bit much carbonation, but no gusher.

A reddish yellow beer, a head is blond and medium. Aroma has wheta, spicyness, fruitness of lemon, hint of caramel. Taste has wheat, some caramel, low spicyness. Medium bodied. Notes of caramel are weird, it's not a bad but also it's not giving anything more.
