Bottle picked up from the brewery webshop and consumed at home sat outside after a busy night, we had Homemade Meatballs and Tomato Sauce for tea and we're currently listening to Marc Riley on 6 Music. Pours dark brown with an off-white head, banana, and toffee jostle for supremacy on the aroma, roasty with a little tangy dark fruit. This is thinner than expected for the abv and I would never have had this down as a 7.8abv beer. There is a little metallic back end, overall it is fine and enjoyable but not reaching the heady heights of the Helles and Heller Bock or even the really decent Pilsner.

Bottle picked up from the brewery webshop in a mixed case of 8 plus glass, and consumed at home Tuesday 20th July 2021 sat outside after a Beer School with Nat session, Level 2 Session 3. We had a Salmon Gratin for tea. Pours clear gold, excellent clarity, with a white head. Pours brown with a light beige head, caramel and a light maltiness on the nose and also in the mouth. Slight dusty hoppiness to this, a little bit lacking in character when compared to the impressive run of beers that had come before.

Bottle picked up from the brewery webshop in a mixed case of 8 plus glass, and consumed at home Tuesday 20th July 2021 currently on my Beer with Nat Level 2, Session 3 VBS course. We had a Salmon Gratin for tea. Pours clear gold, superb clarity, with a mid-sized white head. good hoppiness, fruity, really crisp, dry and grassy hops are all over this, actually, this is really dry. Super soft mouthfeel, great carbonation, not quite as good as the Helles or Heller Weizenbock, however, this is not far behind. I am super impressed with these guys.

16 ounce can. Brown color topped by a dense rocky beige head. Earthy, baked brown bread aroma. Flavor follows nose with added notes of banana and clove. Some spiciness on backend. Very nicely done. Prost!

Amber pour. Thin foam. Sweet nose of fruit and wheat hops. Flavor is wheat hops and light on fruit. Easy carbonation.
