Very cloudy copper and light bronze coloured body with a large, fairly soapy, almost pure white head that starts off at about six centimetres in height and fades to just about three after a few seconds. Aroma of very strong wheats with a lot of bready, yeast and crisp coriander seed notes along with a dash of curacao and some small citrus fruits, but this one definitely smells more yeastie than wheatie. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence; Strong wheat flavours show through with a great body and complexity with some citrus fruits and soft sugars (from caster sugar or honey) coming through the edges and finishing with a nice coriander seed freshness, a lot of bready and yeast notes, which only add to the complexity. Aftertaste is slightly dry, but very fruity and exceptionally wheatie with a good crisp finish from the grains and malt. Overall, a nice and refreshing german unfiltered wheat that hits the marks nicely in terms of the wheat, the dryness and especially the curacao and citrusey aspects while leaving a slightly sweet, but very clean finish. Great to sample and worth trying to find in the heat of Washington during the summertime. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Foggy Bottom (Eye Street NW), Washington, D.C. on 31-May-2021, Memorial Day, for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-August-2021.
