500ml glass at the Biera resto-pub adjacent to the brewery. Not sure if this is a Greek god reference or what.

This beer appears a hazy, medium bronzed amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves a decent band of broken webbed lace around the glass as it slowly dissolves.

It smells of semi-sweet, grainy and bready caramel malt, a further cereal wheatiness, some mild tropical fruitiness, damp banana chips, faint white pepper spice, and subtle leafy, weedy, and musky floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, more edgy wheaten breakfast cereal sweetness, some banana and indistinct citrus fruity notes, blended earthy yeast, and more leafy, musty, and dead floral verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its workaday frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a good time here. It finishes trending dry, the sugar falling out of the malt, in the face of the lingering muddled fruity hops.

Overall - this is certainly a well-made brew (I cannot say 'version of the style' this time), one that spans the American and German approaches, for lack of a better explanation. Good, good stuff!
