Flaske fra lokal sjappe, på hotellbalkongen i Kamari (Santorini): uklar korngul med kort skum. deilig aroma og smak preget av de lokale ingrediensene, som iflg etiketten er honning fra Santorini og konsentrat utvunnet av blader av Citrus Medica (sitronen som brukes til sukat) fra Naxos. Lavt karbonert. Mild bitterhet med hint av sitroner. Lettdrikkelig og definitivt annerledes enn det øya flyter over av. ABV er 5%.

Cloudy yellow color with a fine white head. Ok lacing. Strange aroma. Some lemon notes. Medium body and an average carbonation level. Mellow sweetness. Wheat, honey, fruity, herbs and some citric notes. Quite refreshing. Better than feared with that aroma.

cloudy yellow, smooth white head. aroma is yeasty, citrussy, dough, sour dough. sourness like a wit , but not the herbal yeastiness from a wit. strange. not super pleasant. flavor is wheat malts, faint banana, very mild hopping, not that bad for a wheat, also flavor is not very bitter probably due to the low abv, and this makes it more balanced imo than many other wheats, that have too much alc. taste in them, with too little balance towards the alc.

Bottle, 5/27/15. Somewhat sweet, wheat aroma. A bit of fruit to it. Pours a murky yellow color with a fairly large head and light lace. Tastes leans sweet and wheaty as well. Fairly clean, with a softer than expected carbonation, and a decent feel. Not bad. Probably better than the Grey.
