8/10
Pours dark brown/gold, few bubbles, good nose of sour beer & hibiscus. Decent depth for a 2.5% beer, not OTT sour & pleasant flavour. Great light beer on a hot summers evening when you need/want to drive etc.

Can. Unclear golden body with a decent white head. Aroma has pale malt, fruity hops and fruity yeast. Not much sign of a wheat beer in the flavor really, more like a hoppy APA, but the body have some of soft feeling I get from a god wheat. Super smooth, no sharp edges, still fruity and bitter. Nice, refreshing and easy drinkable, perhaps a bit too kind but I like it anyway. Fine body and medium aftertaste.

Backlog from 2020. An unclear yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of lemons, straw, wheat, and coriander. The flavor is sour with notes of salt, lemon, coriander, and wheat, leading to a tart finish.

Can. Just misted gold with a good cm of white head that lasts OK. Modest aroma with mellow citrus, herbal and slightly earthy notes, light bread. Which works a bit better in the taste as the herbal and earthy notes meet a dryish and moderately bitter end.
