Geist Weiss or Ghost White is our dry hopped Hefeweizen beer. This beer mixes the hop-character and brewing techniques of an India Pale Ale with the wheat base and spice additions of a German Weiss beer. Tropical and Passion fruit hop aromas mixed with bananas and spicy orange peel gives the beer a refreshing and crisp taste.

Taste comprises faint pine, tangerine, lemon drizzle, straw, bready malts, light yeast esterage. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. Ok.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at BottleDog. Well, itโs massively over-carbonated. Pours unclear gold with a monstrous, fluffy white head. The nose holds a bit of grapefruit, pine needles, wheat, slight yeast, tangerine, general citrus rind. Light-medium sweet flavour with a sturdy kick of rindy bitterness, slight oily pine, dry wheat bread, subtle esters, yeast. Light bodied with lively carbontation. Somewhat dry on the finish, with more rindy and piney bitterness, dry wheat, hefe yeast, tangerine, pithy grapefruit, a little grass. Pretty good stuff overall.

Light haze on this gold beer, big fluffy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has a fine biting crispness. Very light malts. A fair serving of floral yeasty bitterness. Light citric peel and lemon. A sharp crisp finish. Quitte drinkable.

Gravity cask at Nottingham festival 2015 with chriso, Boudicca, fonefan and Charlotte, pleasure! Called Geist Wheat and described as a white IPA at 5.2%, Iโm not sure if this is the right beer, but here goes. Cloudy yellow color. Aroma of lemon bubblegum and pepper. Taste has peppery sour lemon and grapefruit. Sounds about right.

Cask at Tapping the Admiral. Clouded golden orange coloured pour with a fading frothy white head. Aroma is doughy grains, clove and some tropical notes, banana and tangy grains. Flavour is composed of full doughy wheat, grains, tangy wheat, citrus hop, spicy citrus rind. Palate is doughy and a bit flabby, maybe would be better on keg. OK hoppy hefe.
