Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

nonostante il pregiudizio con cui mi ci sono approcciato, non mi dispiace poi tanto; un po grezza nel sentore alcolico (e meno male che "remains surprisingly light and delicate") e abbastanza generica, ma chi si aspettava un prodotto unico?

Very, very wheaty beer. In the aroma, taste and after taste. Cloudy golden colour with what starts as a thick white head that dissipates. Heavy wheat flavour, but quite nice.

Bottiglia da 33 comprata dal Besagnino; stesso discorso fatto per la versione Forbidden Fruit. Meglio la Wit
