Review: 5l. long brown bottle of Knightberg Hefeweizen: 4.0% ABV

Logo this time is a big green monster wading through fields of wheat, showing that this beer is strong and ready to lay waste on your taste buds, or something like that! 

Smell......oh wait......that's an unusual smell that I wasn't expecting! Very yeasty, more so than expected, and also strong hints of banana and citrus. 

Colour is yellow with a small white head. Head does go flat after a while and it isn't the most appealing of beers from its appearance. 

Taste is wow, very wheaty, very nice, goes down smooth and is extremely tasty. 

Taste is very striking and feels very nourishing, like a hearty meal. In fact I would say it tastes a bit like a Weetabix with beer, very weird but I love it. I would say it doesn't taste like a regular Hefeweizen, in that the wheat taste has a specific Russian style to it that I have never found before. I wonder do all Russian Hefeweizen's taste like this, is Russian wheat a different taste? 

Got the fruits, especially banana, also got corn and the hops were light. 

Overall its the sweet taste of the wheat with its unique Russian taste that does this beer for me. A top beer. Excellent twist to a Hefeweizen and one that I was not expecting at all. Fun, and very tasty!
