Bottle at the source. Hazy to cloudy yellow color, white head. Aroma has lots of clove, banana, citrus. Taste has mixed citrus, banana, light spice. Much better than an out of date bottle we had at our hotel a few days before.

Sample, huge thanks to Grumbo and Marek! Pours a misty golden yellow, white head. Moderately sweet, light floral creaminess, not as yeasty as standard, but fine overall considering where it's come from!

27/12/2022. Bottle at the ITFC Christmas beer share. From Marek. Pours almost clear golden with a small frothy white head. Aroma is wheaty, citrus, banana, herbs. Medium sweetness, ligth bitterness, touch of tart. Moderate body, quite creamy, foamy carbonation. It's fair.

650ml bottle at Brian’s office. Pours a hazy blond with a white head. Aroma is phenolic, some plastic, and some flowery notes. Same taste. Bad.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out some phenols, metallic notes, a little cheese, and clove. Flavour is fairly metallic and phenolic, with lots of plastic, some metallic notes, a touch of banana and clove. Lots of off-notes going on here, though it's inoffensive. Not good.

Draft at this cute cafοΏ½ near the brewery, which sadly was closed.

Hazy, sort of a dull tan colour. Thin head. Aroma is a fair bit of banana and apple. Thinnish for a Weissbier, with a finish that could be dry or could be tart, but ends up being neither. Still, a clean weissbier.
