First contact – aroma is clearly
black currant with a hint of malt and caramel. Looks really great in the glass –
beautiful orange amber, with rather weak and short lasting head. It really
looks nice in the glass. Taste?
…
It is clearly sour, which is not a
surprise giving the nature of black currant. What is killing my Desire to tis
beer are the special British hops used. A combination of sour and bitter is
really bad. In fact, it ends up with a blunt sour taste with blunt bitter finish.
After this experience, I have decided to test this beer on my wife – who is a
big fan of wheats and their derivatives. The outcome – out of 500 ml, approx. 300
went in the sink. Not drinkable. At all. Sorry.
