Beer of the Month (December 2018)

[Oneflewover]

Really quite enjoyed this. Good level of carbonation, lovely pillowy white head that lasted very well. I had mine chilled to recommended serving temp, but the flavours improved as it warmed. Quite dry and a bit of sharpness offset the spicy flavours well. Bit of grainy maltiness. Would happily drink a few of these, and the style is where I would aim at for a home-brewed wheat.

Edited, original reply looked too sarcastic!

I think I drank mine too cold. It was in the garage at about 3C and I didn't leave it long enough to warm up. I have another bottle though for a second go

Yep! We are waiting to see who the winner of the world cup is, to determine January's BOTM.

Got a bottle of this today, not a style I usually go for but enjoyed it!

Not much to add on the tasting notes but I did also get a bottle of the dunkel version which was obviously darker and has a little more malty/sweet character, both very good!

Sweet. Banana-y, a bit too, but I haven't aten a whole banana since 2001, so I might notice it too much. Could do with more cloves, I miss a bit of sharpness on the sides of the tongue, might have to do with low amount of hops. I'm used to lots of hops.
Concluding: beer well done, just not to my taste.

Extra pic of bunny, he likes nanners.

I don't dislike this beer, but its not really my cup of tea - I wouldn't want more than one.
Echoing what others have said but its all about the yeast. I thought it was very clovey at first, but became more bananaery as it warmed. It did have a lovely full soft mouthfeel but for me it was lacking a few IBUs to be nicely drinkable & it was quite hard going.
Pleased to have tried it though - looking forward to next month's beer
