Special release for "Beer Test 2003" in Denmark so the brewery could decide which new beer to bring to the market...
Appearance: straw color, fair amount of haze, crisp and inviting, head not as billowous as I'd like, poor retention (pretty much disappears altogether)
Aroma: fruity (pear?), grainy, bready, tart, waft of hops, not much yeast component (banana or clove), wisp of alcohol
Flavor: predominant bready/grainy flavor, slight tanginess towards the finish, mellow hop flavor in the background, some bitterness in the semi-dry finish, slight minerally astringency in the aftertaste, some clove in there somewhere
Mouthfeel: nice light body, crisp carbonation, tiny bit of astringency, pretty refreshing
Overall impression: It's pretty lacking in the appearance department (hardly any head, no lacing, etc.). ABV seems on the high end for the style. The flavor has a redeeming component to it that is hard to describe... the breadiness seems a bit different than a traditional german wheat beer. It's a good start for a brewery that has focused on lagers since it opened. The beer would improve with higher carbonation and more yeast in the bottle.
