Brewed for Beer Day 2012.

The liquid is opaque, the colour amber-orange (20 EBC). The finger thick head is yellowish. Good head retention. Some fine lacing.

The smell is strong. Wheat tartness and a grand sweetness. Soap/dried fruits. Washing powder and lots of cloves. Hints of alcohol and meats. It is quite dense, which is a good thing here.

Sweetness dominates the taste. Cloves and other exotic spices. Allspice. Meats. Some hops and a delicate bitterness. Flowers. Banana peels. Banana candy. Full body. Fresh hops in the aftertaste. Spices. The body becomes a bit thinner after some time. Wheat sourness and quite a lot of wheat dough. Some band-aids and hints of smoke in the finish, as well as some fresh vegetables and fruit candy in the finish.

Soft carbonation, small bubbles. The liquid is very smooth and a bit sticky.

A very German beer. Nice and balanced with well hidden alcohol.

Serving type: on-tap
