75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, May 22. Brought by me.Hazed chestnut brown, with a cream topping. Bit of a strange one this, expected a strong weizen yeast profile but baked apple dominates, apple boiled sweets perhaps, with simmering amber malt. Good to try a final beer from these guys, but unfortunately seems a bit muddled and unintentional.

30th May 2022; Shrewsbury Beer Share Evening in Chez Sophie. Five guys enjoying themselves. Cheers Mat for the 750ml bottle of this. More like a Cider than a Weizenbock, aroma and taste was all about tart/sour apples and no yeasty/wheaty/banana/clove traces at all. It was OK, but was not what we expected.
