Weizen Hitachino Nest - Kiuchi Brewery, 5% ABV, (Ibaraki, Japan)
On the back label:
“This German style weizen is a cloudy beer brewed with wheat malt, and a fragrant yeast. Please enjoy the banana like flavor and light taste.”
My Notes:
Tasting Notes: pours bright cloudy orange creamsicle, small staying head, micro-foamy CO2, runny lacing, a plethora of CO2 streams. Orange marmalade on the nose with some barnyard sourness. Sharp but soft 8/10 sourness up front that half dissipates into an off-dry mandarin orange and banana clean finish. Also a mild bitter hoppy finish. Very crisp, medium complexity, medium-high depth, medium length, medium viscosity (great mouthfeel).
