Not a bad traditional style Hefeweizen beer. Oromo was the best part here with cloves bananas and malt. Flavor was like nose Carbonic Tang was a little strong body was a little thin and watery likewise with carbonation a little strong. Still decent enough beer overall.

Well-crafted Hoppy lager although while the label says APL it seems more like an IPL given there’s no alcohol percentage mentioned on the label. Aroma is fresh Hops and malt. Flavor is like nose Pine resin dominates grapefruit a little sweet up front and bitter in the Finish. Good body great drinking beer.
