Bottled at Nya Tröls, Malmö. Hazy mahogany colour, small head. Fruit nose where black currant is evident. Full bodied with clean, edgy mouthfeel.Plenty of spicy hops and balck currant leads to a realy bitter finish. Rather edgy.

On tap @ Arendsnest. Smoked hefeweizen, I thought it was a combination that wouldn’t work, but it did, and surprisingly well. All the aroma’s of a good hefeweizen: wheat, juicy fruit, some banana/clove/vanilla and then some smoke, not too strong but clearly present. Flavor is ever so slightly sweet, grainy, smoky. Medium bodied, that helped too. Dryish somewhat bitter finish. Very pleasant surprise.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Hazy yellowish golden colour with a small white foamy head that leaves some slight lace. Aroma is wheat, some citrus fruits, mild spices, bread and some mild bitter hops. Flavour is grass, grain, some wheat, mild hayish and cardboardy notes as well as some slight fruits and yeast. Rather strange, but at the same time a quite nice brew.

Draft at Arends Nest. Cloudy dark brown beer, small cream coloured head. Light semi dry palate. Smooth malt, semi dry. Nice brandy undertone. Slightly marred with a note of green veg. Finishes dry. Decent but could be much better without the green veg!
