Draft at Brewhaha, Da Nang. Poured a Crystal clear yellow golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light yeast, herbal. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, fresh, crisp, herbal, light melon, light woody hop palate. Many of the promised aromas and flavours simply weren’t there for me, but a solid Blonde all the same.

Draft at Brewhaha, Da Nang. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is yeasty banana. The flavour is yeasty, herbal, with a crisp, dry, banana bubblegum yeast, light citrus, light clove spice palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. One of the better Hefeweizen’s I’ve ever tasted and certainly the best in Asia.
