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.
