Der Antrunk ist eher mild und tritt herb auf, das Malz ist deutlich untergeordnet. Auch die Bitterkeit ist in weiten Teilen stärker als das Malz, das leicht karamellig aber leider viel zu schwach ist und so regelmäßig durch andere Noten unterbrochen wird. Die meisten Aromen lassen zum Ende schnell nach, das Malz nutzt diese Chance aber nicht und wird sofort wässrig. Mäßig. 9/8/9/8/9/8

50cl bottle. Pours a hazy yellow colour with lots of bubbles and a very generous head. The nose is of vanilla custard almost leading on to buttermilk. The taste is of more vanilla, rich cream and some other spice. The palate is big in structure, creamy in texture and quite refreshing on the end. Overall, a great example of how wheat beer should be made.

Bottle. Crisp hoppy aroma. Yellow, fine carbonation, creamy head. Smooth malty entry, hard water saltyness, Fine aromatic hop profile. Fullbodied, chewy, fruity malt, feels a bit more like a nice hoppy Helles, but that is semantics - this beer is thoroughly enjoyable.
