Notes

Peppery flavour from the Saaz hops makes this a fantastic spring / summer / autumn beer. Not too bitter and aromatic on the nose with just the right amount of banana esters.

Crisp and flavourful weizen with quite a nice "peppery" spice to it. Really makes for a nice beer which has not been enjoyed by quite a few friends ... so much so that it is a staple on tap!
