Can. So the Japanese make terrible beer also. I guess you can make bad beer anywhere.

300ml blue bottle (as The plateau of the Galaxy), drank on 21st January 2022 at my daughters in Laguna Hills. Poured into an old Licher Weizen glass that I gave my son-in-law years ago. Interesting beer really, hazed light orange body, full white crown. It has an orange, wheaty and herbal aroma, some cloves also trying to get involved. Taste also came across with the same things, oranges, wheat, cloves and other herbs blending in. I have certainly had worse Hefeweizen than this offering.

I Rather aged sample /I Hazy orange-yellow beer, not very carbonated, head gone in an eyeblink. Wheat, bit of banana, bit of orange, some clove, but very mineral, seaweed, algae. More of the same, if more banana, more clove, more orange and less seaweed. Still mineral flavour. Very low carbonation, and lame presence overall - certainly if this must be a Hefe! - Bit wheatslick, very faint burnign feel. Accuses its age, but probably not very shining from the start. Thanks to Stef!
