Appearance: Poured with a finger and a half of head that produced ample lacing and retained quite well. The body is a mostly cloudy gold/yellow depending on how the light hits it. A great deal of carbonation is shown here. A bit more retention, a bit more cloud and maybe a bit more lace would have netted the perfect. It's also kind of more witbeir pale, but I'm letting it slide as I'm honestly not sure if the intent here was to lean into wit or hefe territory.
Smell: Spicy, specifically allspice is what I find dominates the nose, with some cinnamon and ginger notes. It explicitly doesn't come across as sweet, pumpkin spice, but a much drier note. My thoughts keeps going to Jamaican, but that's not quite right. Like the allspice in jerk chicken, with the dryness of a patty but also a slight desert note. It's certainly interesting, and didn't need warming to achieve good potency.
Taste: Starts with that spicy allspice note, but there's also this out of place acidic part that quickly makes itself known, it's almost like mix of lemon and watered down apple cider vinegar, but thankfully it doesn't take control of things and banana notes come through with a bit of the cinnamon and ginger notes before wrapping things up with mild muddy hops (which are far less mild near the start) and more mixed spice which manage to mostly subdue the acid.
Mouthfeel: This is the biggest detraction of the beer. That acidic note is dramatically out of place as you drink it, but it does have kind of a pickle like cleansing of the palate quality, only leaving mild dry spice behind which is nice. The carbonation is good, offering this frothy lightness but peters out hard at the 3/4 done mark, which lets that acid have more of a presence. Transitioning is good, albeit there is a bit of hauling you out of the acid to it.
Drinkability: This is very refreshing and hits that nice summer light-medium note with a lot of unique character. It settles down quite well and that dry spice is subtle enough to really lean into that drink more to stop feeling dry aspect. That said, the character makes you want to savor it and that's bizarrely a drawback, because when this guy goes flat, it becomes not quite as good.
Final Thoughts: I've never heard or had Moroccan Wheat, and I don't know if this is an actual thing or just branding, but this is a very interesting experience. I drank it out of a 500ml bottle, but I think as a pint, if you can finish it before the carbonation dies, this is exceptional. I want to seek this out next summer and try to beat the carbonation here, but in this format there is a clear, weird weakness to it. If you want something unique, this is a great offering. Thumbs Up
