Like a flawless set played by your favourite band, the Wharf Rd. Wheat continued on where the Baroona left off. As a song may share the same rhythm to start off with but ultimately shift beat to determine something entirely different, this drop picks up the similar velvet taste of the Baroona but changes its tone soon after.
A mixture of hinted fruits washed into a smooth seemingly honey based finish, yet completely different from its counterpart with its slightly more bitter finish. Described as a classic German style wheat with 50% malted barley and 50% wheat, it's the barley that gives the similar malty thickness shared in the Baroona.
Its unorthodox fermenting gives it the cloudy finish common in traditional wheat beers and is this drops way of paying homage to the brew craftsmen of old. The Wharf Rd Wheat Beer is the one of the set to be respected as a true imitation of something traditionally German, but it was not definitely not my favourite.
