Analysis

A variation on our usual Wheat Beer theme, we added hops

to make this brew a little more tasty

At bottling brew tastes more bitter than the standard

wheat beer we usually make. Hops aroma and taste evident but not

overpowering or as strong as Aussie Redback. A good half-way-

house beer for those who don't like their beer too bitter nor too hoppy
