All countries, regions, and areas have their own unique produce and ingredients. Taiwan is, of course, no exception. We really admire the mountain pepper from the interior of the island. Its citrus notes, very close to lemongrass, are intense and intriguing. Our conclusion is that this works beautifully with wheat, and specifically with the fruity ester profile from the classic German wheat beer.

Banana, lemon, cloves and pepper. Light and refreshing. This is our Mountain Pepper Wheat. Does it get any better than this?

Draft. A hazy yellow beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of pepper, lemons, yeast, and wheat. The flavor is sweet with notes of pepper, cloves, lemon grass, wheat, and straw, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Bottle, at Apotekergaarden. It’s a lightly unclear golden-orange colored beer with a small, dense, white head. Some curtains. The aroma has lots of lemongrass, which is a bit surprising, as there’s no lemongrass added according to the label. Pepper of Taiwan is the only non-regular ingredient on the list, might be related to that, who knows. Some pale malts and a touch of white bread chimes in, so does a little yeasty touch. There’s a fine bitterness in the mouth, it’s fruity and lemongrass-ish, with some pale malts in the far back, and there’s also some yeastyness going on, in a nice way though. It’s medium bodied, dry and nicely carbonated, with a lasting fruity, lemongrassy finish. A refreshing and quaffable beer indeed. 170202
