Muskoka Brewery Summerweisse Tropical Wheat – Wheat Ale at 5.3% ABV (C$3.65 at NLC Stavanger, 473 ml, best before 5-Sep-2020, acquired 9-Jul-2020, reviewed 15-Jul-2020)
Appearance: slightly hazy straw with one fat finger of rocky white head diminishing gradually to a thin ring, minimal spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: mango & tropical fruit, banana, wheat. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, moderate tart. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, medium duration mildly tart finish. (4/5)
Meh. It’s not terrible, and certainly the adjunct mango and passionfruit are not as sweet as I feared they might be but really: you can achieve a similar (and in my opinion preferable) result with hopping and without adjuncts. In this case, I’m left sort of wondering what the point is. (14/20)
