on tap at the aqula beer cafe in akita. i was given a beer menu in english which described this as a dunkel weizen, although it was no darker than most standard bavarian hefes. anyways, a rich aroma of banana, hambone and vanilla essence. pleasantly firm texture with some alcohol showing, which i usually like in weizens. heady and warming with some pleasant salty sourness in the finish

Jul 26, 2007 <i>My Bottom Line:</i><br />
Banana esters, earthy yeast and grassy hops whip up an eccentric Weizen profile which winds up being quite personable.<br />
<br />
<i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br />
-A frothy head of foam is absorbed by the foggy beige.<br />
-The large bubles and well-fed maltiness produce a cushiony mouthfeel.<br />
-At first, the nose’s esters and phenols were offputting (sign of fatigue?), but it all worked out well in the end.<br />
-Yet another drinkable product from Aqula.<br />
