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.

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.
