Purchased for take-away at the foreign beer bar, Catford Beerfest., 08/06/2006. Coming in a 500ml brown bottle, it's bottle-conditioned, BB DEC 08, and served lightly-chilled in a straight imperial-pint glass.
A: pours a most pale straw hue, just slightly hazy; fast growing, huge and tightly silky white froth (exactly like a perfectly aerated capuccino head) sustains brilliantly, supported by a lively carbonated body underneath.
S: dusty from the thick froth, followed by mildly sweetish and grainy pilsner malts, a little banana-ish, lemony, and clove yeastiness, with a touch of coriander seeds at the back; the wheatish tinge is rather restrained and do not overpower the other elements. The overall impression reminds me of both Belgian wit and German weizen, as it's heavier than wit but less aromatic than weizen...
T: very wheatish but much thinner than the aroma suggests, firmly in line with the style of Belgian witbier--on the palate it's dryish, clove-ish yeasty, tartly-sweet lemony with just a touch of banana, flowery, and assertively but flatly-textured wheatish, leaving a negligible aftertaste and a semi-dry and clean aftertone.
M&D: the mouthfeel is not overly lively and the body slightly thin, but the easy-going profile lives up to Belgian witbiers, to be consumed as session beers in summer. Pretty solid, but not my choice for a summer drink as I'm more of a bitter man. Worth a try, though.
