Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 1D). Bottle 33 cl - batch unknown. AROMA: predominant hop aroma with a fruity character (passionfruit / ripe mango). slightly sweet malty background. almost imperceptible wheat. APPEARANCE: gold color and translucent. moderate-low white head with average-low retention. TASTE: predominant hop flavour with tropical fruit notes (passionfruit). wheat imperceptible. slightly sweet background. moderate bitterness that lasts beyond an almost dry and bitter finish. PALATE: medium-light body with average carbonation. OVERALL: altough the beer has no technical deficiencies, it resembles an APA rather than an American Weat Beer. Needs mode wheat presence and more balance with the hops.
