PS - that was 3kg of Feijoa not kiwifruit - beersmith didn't have feijoa and I couldn't be bothered adding it on the list.
Appearance: Slightly murky with a green tinge :) Thin lasting head
Aroma: Not sure what those judges were on. I got MASSIVE Feijoa hit.
Taste: Tart feijoa taste. it also lends a touch of sourness, but it seems to work well with the base beer.
Overall: For me the feijoa slightly overpowers the base beer. Trouble is I don't like feijoa! But if i did i think i would like the beer as it certainly showcases in this beer. Maybe a pale ale base would help balance out the tartness more with its sweetness.
Thanks for sharing Paul
Appearance: Cloudy wheat look, a bit darker than other wheat beers I have tried.
Aroma: Intense Feijoa , no other smells noted
Taste: Sweet & tangy are the initial tastes and then sour and tart all coming through, no lingering bitterness. Also Feijoa.
Mouth Feel: Light to medium body, high carbonation.
Overall , Refreshing Feijoa beer. I think less might be more with Feijoa as the flavour is so strong. I love Feijoas so this beer went down well.
Cloudy murkey appearance with a big white had. BIG Feijoa aroma. yum. Good carbonation. In tasting, I get big carbonation in my mouth together with that delicious feijoa taste. The feijoa taste lingers right to the end where I get another smack of it.
I've had this one before and do like these wheat beers. All I can say is that I hope you get another laden supply of feijoas this season, and I really look forward to the next round of your feijoa wheat!
Cheers forthe beer Paul, thought this would go down well after a 4km run on friday evening. I've for gone the Light Hybrid comp to do my own tasting session of a couple of swap beers, plus its the first weekend since mid february where I havent needed to go to a stag do, a wedding brew a beer. work too hard. etc. etc. so here goes some nice relaxing tasting notes:
Appearance: Cloudy wheat/Feijoa juice colour. Can't see a thing through it, pale yellow colour, to be expected from a what beer like this.
Aroma: Feijoas, thats pretty much what i get all the way through, I didn't tell pip what the beer was and she picked feijoa straight away.
Flavour: More Feijoas. Low malt flavour, which is probably to be expected from the american wheat base. While this is refreshing and a good beer, the fruit is just a little too dominant. (Ilike feijoas too) If you tone down the fruit, probably by no more than a half kilo, it'll be perfect. Good refreshing beer.
mouthfeel, Good for style, and I'm gonna use a judges words here "Prickly carbonation" Which is perfect,
Overall: Its a tasty beer, and is different from the norm. so thanks for sharing.
Appearance - pale somewhat cloudy beer with good lasting head
aroma - feijoa!!!
taste - feijoa. I LOVE feijoa and this has inspired me to put feijoa in a beer. I heard one judge saying it was like "vomit up your nose" - I think maybe a combo of it being the unlucky first beer after the stouts AND that it seems pretty acidic. Feioa is surprisingly acidic on its own and I think the udge was picking up the acidity. This has inspired me to make a feijoa beer this year but I am thinking maybe subbing the yeast for one that attenuates a bit less, or upping the mash temp or the crystal to get a bit more sugar against the yeast
mouthfeel - bit acidic but in a feijoa way rather than related to beer way - get the impression the underlying beer was clean as; carbonation excellent
overall - Paul I've been looking foreward to this muchly since hearing your concept; and I am inspired to have a go at something similar. I love feijoa with spice and ginger and I am thinking same beer but with a wit yeast and a bit of grated ginger. if I manage something drinkable I'll flick you a bottle :-)
Appearance: cloudy, big fluffy head, dark golden colour
Aroma: massive hit of feijoa
Flavour: Big hit of feijoa up front, wheat comes through in the background. Fair bit of sweetness from the fruit.
Body: Medium body, nice full carb.
Overall: Well made beer, cleanly fermented. This beer really showcases the feijoa. Personally I'd dial back the feijoa if you make this again, I found it a little overwhelming. Awesome beer otherwise.
FRESH LIQUID YEAST!!!
