Pour is a nice clean dark amber with a large white head. Aroma a nice caramel and molasses. Flavor is more heavy caramel malt but this is not sweet. Finish is thick and malty. Pretty good beer of a style I don't usually sample a lot of.

bottle - had at random with friends. Light as it gets - not something you seek out.

Bottle. A really nice example of a German Hefeweizen. Really surprising since it comes from a mega brewer. Taste is spicy, clove, banana. Taste is the same. It is a little strong on the banana and a little light on the cloves.

Bottle at the Airbnb in Marigot. Copper pour with a thin head. Totally unoffensive lager but also painfully mediocre with barely any noticeable characteristics. Meh.

Bottle at the Airbnb from Carrefour. Pours briwn with a quickly dissipating head. Nose is dried fruits, molasses, bread and biscuits, some chocolate. Taste is chocolate, dried fruits, nougat and molasses, pretty decent. Closes with a short, dry and watery finish, it’s got a watery body and soft carbonation. Awfully thin, which is a shame because some body it’d actually be a pretty decent porter.

can. It was some kind of gold with an ok head. Taste and aroma is just terrible.

US pint at Philadelphia airport on 8th March 2025. Waiting for a connection to Miami. Clean and clear amber body, off-white head. Malt driven with a pleasant crispness and carbonation. I liked it and it’s a beer I’ve wanted for ages because I was given an old Yuengling stemmed glass many years ago and still have it in my collection.
