Yeastie Boys White Noise is my entertainment this afternoon, although it's a small bottle so I might wait to early evening before I drink it.
"White beer with chamomile and NZ hops"
Yeastie Boys who brewed this at Invercargill Brewery in the style that is of Wheat Ale and YB are in Wellington, New Zealand.
This is in the smaller 330 ml bottle, and it is of 4.4% ABV, making it a beer of 1.4 standard drink units, it's a low 9 or 10 IBU, and 132 calories in the bottle to round out the numbers.
A quaffable, cloudy white ale that is perfect for those afternoon sessions after a hard day's work or play. Pours a cloudy pale straw colour with a dense mousse-like white head. A perfumy coconut and vanilla note on the nose, with a little citrus and spice, and bready grains from the wheat. The mouthfeel is full for such a pale beer, but still very light and elegant.
The beer finishes with a cleansing acidity, a faint spicy note and only the mildest touch of citrus from the virtually non-existent hops.
Speaking of which the Hops are Kohatu, Wakatu and this is Egyptian chamomile, it's important.
