330ml bottle, thanks to McTapps. Pours a hazy orange with a zesty hop aroma. Taste is pithy citrus and pine, with a decent hoppy bitterness. Decent.

"Mit dem extravaganten flair der Côte d’Azur", the back label shouts. Weird ’lifestyle’ beer, apparently a wheat beer made after the Reinheitsgebot, but clearly this is indeed an American-style wheat ale rather than a Bavarian Hefeweizen. Pours a cloudy, peachy ochre blonde under a moussy, thinnish, egg white head. Aroma discloses American-style citrusy hops in the first place; impressions of fresh orange juice and fresh pink grapefruit, something not unlike ’fresh fish’, soap, clear wheat all around, passion fruit, fruit yoghurt, banana, vanilla extract, limoncello. Soft and refreshing taste of sourish wheat (quite strong), supple, bready malt sweetishness, estery fruitiness (sour apples, lime, starfruit, peach, unripe plum), yeasty and very bready, lactic kind of acidity accompanying this simple but agreeable sweetness, evolving towards a wheaty, somewhat tart finish in which the expressive and aromatic hops come along without disturbing the sweet and sour play, so very low bitterness. In all, this is a very interesting beer, totally quenching the thirst; gentle and elegant, I have had dozens of lesser beers presenting themselves as ’trendy’. If this is the trend at the Côte d’Azur, I’m sure this German wheat brew is a fine companion for a hot summer afternoon there. Nice surprise - I had expected something Hefeweizen-like, but this is different, and it aptly illustrates the fact that even Germany nowadays has a few careful yet progressive, American-influenced micro breweries. Aber bitte vergessen Sie die eigentliche deutsche Weissbiere auch nicht!

Many thanks to Frank for this bottle. Floral citrus-Weißbier-nose, fresh and not too sweet. The beer starts floral with a nice fresh fruity yeast. Smooth, but the Weißbier-aroma with the yeast covers lots of the hoppy floralness, which seems to be nice, but is hidden below the smooth and fruity-sourish layer of yeast. Smooth, nearly no bitterness, fresh, easy to drink but the nice floral hops are covered. Nevertheless a nice Weißbier - lots of fruity smooth yeast, clove, not too much banana and a nice floral hoppy layer in the background, getting a bit more bitter till the end. Nice!

0,33 l bottle, best before 1/3/2015. Just slightly hazy, pale orange with a small, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Some small lacings left on the glass. Nice fruity aroma of orange, tangerine, passion fruit and mango. Just awesome. Slightly sweet taste of orange, mango and tangerine. Crisp, medium bitter finish with hints of grapefruit. Medium thin body, soft carbonation. Very refreshing, much fruitiness in aroma and taste, but lacking a bit of a body. Nevertheless very good.

Bottle. It pours a hazy, dark golden body under a dense, finger-thick off-white head. The aroma is on the hoppy side, with orange peel, resins and pine cones. Some maltyness. It’s fullbodied and soft on the palate, with a pleasant carbonation. Some more carbonation would probably release more aroma, but it’s ok as it’s it. The flavor too has the hops dominating, in a quite pleasant way. Lasting bitter finish with even more hops. A pleasant one indeed. 141231
