On tap at Pontoon Brownie Bash 2021. Black with brownish head. Huge thick chocolate and loads of coffee, cocoa, coconut, some cinnamon, bourbon, sweet with bitter finish. Oily. Full bodied. Fantastic.

Thanks Brad and Angela! Pretty good for an American-made bavarian-style Hefeweizen. Aromas and flavors have the characteristic clove though I don't pick up any banana. This has a little bit more bitter than traditional. Good body, carbonation and just a touch harsh finish. Still pretty good overall. Edit: just finished the bottle and there is no yeast residue. Which is the Hefe in Hefeweizen. Downgrading.

Capped 500 from Tavour. Pours like hazy pineapple juice with a decent foamy white head. Aroma of white berries and perhaps a touch of mixed fruits. Med plus body. Flavor is very white berry and the mixed fruits tend towards tropical - something like a bit of green guava. Dry. More than moderately bitter. Really exceptional flavor.

Bottle. Aroma smells like lime zest and straw. The aroma is again lime and straw with the addition of a mild floral hint in the finish. Texture is really juicy with zero bitterness. Real good!
