harvested

Well, here's another surprise!  Hopfenweisse?  A little German influence?  Let's see what you got, White Tusk, La Quince is backing you. 

There's a suspicious amount of citrus in a weisse aroma, but hops lovers would probably be overjoyed.  It's a rather cloudy beer too, despite the cheery golden color.  The taste is quite overwhelmingly wheaty.  It has that little dance of sweet and sour, a little whippy swipe at the palate as it goes down.  It's light and bubbly, a bright and snappy beer, without some of the volume in feel of more standard wheat beers.  Some more sour fruit starts to come out with a little warming, sort of a sour cherry or something of the kind.  While the German beer reference is fitting for the time, the beer is too summery for me.  On a warm afternoon in some sizzling square it would be delightful, but now, even in front of a fire, it doesn't carry quite enough weight for me.  Maybe I need to find a good bonfire.
