Weiss Principal is the international love child of a German Hefe-Weisse and an American Double IPA. This unfiltered wheat beer employs a traditional German Weiss yeast, providing engaging banana and clove flavors. A stern dry-hopping of a pungent American hops provides pronounced citrus, pine & fruit notes.

(Bottle) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of orange, honey, bread, soapy wheat, spicy hops, pear, banana and a touch of clove. Fruity, hoppy taste with bread, grapefruit, pine needles, honey, a slightly soapy wheat character, tropical fruit and a generous resiny, piney bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Slightly schizophrenic fusion of weissbier and IPA, and a bit unbalanced with a fairly harsh bitterness. Still quite nice.

Bottle via trade. Golden orange appearance with a light tan head. Some juicy hops in the nose but also a lot of bread and a bit of cardboard. Tangerine, mango fruity notes in the flavor. A little sappy / goopy resiny. Sharp bitterness and sweetness. Boozy. Gross.

Uklar orange farge med tynt hvitt skum. Lukter humle, banan og krydder. Noe oljete i munnfølese. Ganske skarp humlebitter i ettersmak.

Flaska från Systembolaget. Bärnstensfärgad vätska med vitt skum. Dofter av mango, ananas och säd. Hög honungsladdad söt smak som matchas av en kraftig amerikansk humlebeska. Mjuk munkänsla. Medellång eftersmak.
