What about the beer?

Colour is hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma has wheat malts, sweet spices and ripe banana. Taste starts with sharp sweet fruity and hoppy bite. Sweet wheat malts and spicy fruits - citrus and banana - take over. Towards the end fruits step in front and sweet bitter hops get through. Aftertaste is sweet fruity and slightly bitter.

Wheat beer with a ton of fruits and spices and a sharp twist of hops. Delicious and refreshing brew - funky taste of summer. No wonder this one is considered among the best of its style and among the German beers.

Ölbeat

Spices, fruits, hoppy twist and the fresh feeling of summer. Since the beer style is new in this blog, I found a new music style to match it. This skiffle tune is a timeless chilling song for lazy summer days:

Mungo Jerry: In The Summertime (YouTube)

Originally released as a maxi single in 1970, the song was written by Ray Dorset.
