Tasted by 100ml, No.2 in a tasting set of four at this “mock brew-pub” (i.e. beers are not brewed at this premise). Served by a tap behind the bar.

A: very light amber or dark golden in colour, topped with a very thin beer head that settles fast to a rim, while the carbonation is low.
S: a slightly chemical note of passion-fruit + banana yeastiness accompanies an overly sweet, corn-ish and semi-grainy aroma of wheat- and barley-malts, with a very faint touch of caramel at the fringe. Little spiciness typical of a weizen is detected on nose.
T: faint fruit-esters precede mildly dryish-sweet wheat-malts and a natural dryness in the end; short finish, with a wee bit of sour grains and a touch of caramel.
M&D: refreshing enough due to the light carbonation, but the body is thin-ish even for a weizen and it lacks a sound structure and sufficient flavours overall, where neither malts nor spiciness make enough appearance on the palate to retain a sort of “gravity”. All in all, this is at best a weird interpretation of a classic style, but surely there’s room for much improvement!!
