330ml bottle poured into weizen glass, purchased from Plonk in Canberra. No freshness date. I've had a few of the Namibian Breweries beers - they are all pretty good, I've got high hopes for this beer.

A- dark chestnut brown, pours a HUGE fizzy foamy pale brown head. I had to rush this to the sink when pouring otherwise most of the beer would have ended up on the floor. The head does dissipate relatively quickly

S - tarty wheat smells, with noticable yeasty aromas and phenols.

T - Fairly sweet, roasted malts with the re-assuring banana tastes of a typical weiss. There are also hints of dark fruits (raisins, plums) with a strange sour bitterness (like bicarb soda) to the finish.

M - one of the highest carbonated beers I've ever had - very lively. Medium bodied.

O - decent try - all the typical weizen flavours, but the sour finish is a bit off putting. Plus the carbonation can be double edged - it may be nice on a hot day (which they have a lot of in Namibia), but it is very overpowering as well.
