Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

12oz bottle courtesy of EinWeizenbitte poured into a pint glass. Pours a bright hazy orangish hue with a thick cream-colored head that settles in as a soapy film on top and some surprisingly good lacing. The aroma is very hoppy for the style with lots of citrus, namely oranges, and a bit of lemon grass. There is some toasted bread in the backgro
Bottle at Olympen. Hazy amber, decent head. Bready and spicy aroma. Citrussy hops, bready flavours- good balance. Quite bitter. Enjoyable.
Aroma is a blend of hops (earthy) and malt (clean, dry and general). Flavor is malty with a lingering hop bitterness. Decent ESB.
