Tolles Fläschchen. Geschmack erstmal sehr ungewohnt. Sanft, schwere Süsse durch Malz und Fruchtzucker. Die 10% sind nicht dominant, es trinkt sich gut. Ein gelungenes Bier-Wein-Crossover.

Hazy medium golden colour, good and stable frothy white head, good lacing. Aroma sweet malt, white grapes, yeast. Taste medium sweet and bitter, not that aromatic, light malty, fruity, yeasty. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation, lingering light astringent dry sweetbitter aftertaste, cardboard, woody, mineral touch, nice when you like the style.

Strong wheat nose. Clear pale golden colour, small fizzy white head, disappears quickly, when pourd completely the beer becomes hazy with some tiny yeast particles. Aroma wheat, yeast, orange, light lemon. Taste medium sweet, some bitterness and a touch of acidity, wheat, lemon, very light banana, spicy yeast. Light body, watery to oily texture, soft carbonation, sweet aftertaste, sugary and banana notes, easy to drink, not really a weizen but okay.

Bottle: Poured a pale yellow color ale with a large pure white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of wheat malt notes with light cloves and bubble gum notes. Taste is also a mix of strong wheat malt with light residual sugar, cloves and light coriander notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable and refreshing wit.
