(Bottle 50 cl) I find the back label’s claim that wheat beer originates in Northern Germany rather amusing. Wonder what would’ve happened during the war if the British general staff had lacked the same sense of geography. Would they’ve been looking for Hitler in the Eagle’s Nest around Flensburg somewhere? Anyways, I remember having this for the first time at the Copenhagen Beer Festival in 2003 concluding that the Scots should keep away from producing wheat beers. After having finished this I haven’t changed my opinion. This amber-coloured, slightly hazy beed has an oddly smoked character - pretty much like whisky-malt. Indeed a very different wheat! 250104

An orange beer with a fine head. The aroma is strong, sweet, fruity, wheaty with a hint of orange. The flavor is bubbly, with powerful wheat, yet without the sourness that malted wheat usually gives a beer. It is pretty sweet and with only a slight bitterness to balance it.
