To Øl Hibernate
The year is nearly over. The nights turn longer and longer. Make sure your storage is full and packed for winter and hibernate until everything blossoms again.
When winter comes, all you have to do is tuck in under your sheets and prepare for winter. But you can get kinda thirsty staying in your bed for months. So To Øl figured the perfect beer for this: Hibernate. Brewed with orange peel and coriander to take elements from the classic Wit bier, balanced out as a cream ale. Fermented at lower temperatures to leave more space for the dryhopping and the spices. A perfectly pleasing potent partner for any cold season.

Mehr glibbriger Belgier als softer Creamer. Getreidehopfig mit Kräuterabgang und dabei schön trocken. Nice!! Aber Cream Ale!? Wohl eher Wheat :)...Tap Stuff. BEYOND BEER HH.
Bottle, 330 ml from Pivoljub, Shared with Max and JFK10000. Light hazy golden, small white head. Some citrus notes, wheat, sweetish. Bitterness in finish. Moderate carbonation. Medium bodied.
Cerveja equilibrada, com gosto de coentro bem suave
Vierte amarillo oscuro algo turbio con gran cabeza de espuma de larga retención, aromas a fruta de hueso, levadura belga, floral, cereal y especias, en boca entrada media con ligero amargor, notas a cereal y herbales, cuerpo y carbónico medios, curiosa cerveza en un estilo poco habitual, usando el trigo como principal ingrediente de elaboración , fácil de beber y bien balanceada.
0.33 l bottle shared at a drinking session with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran in the summer of 2017. Thanks! Hazy golden, small to a medium off-white head. Moderately hoppy - fruity, also some herbs and citrus. Sweet, citrus, light tart finish. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, lightly hoppy finish. Good wheat sweet sweetness and some hops also present!

Muy buena cerveza, de sabor suave y agradable, muy fácil de beber y refrescante.
Robe dorée, mousse crémeuse et abondante, persistante. Nez élégant sur des notes de coing, de mangue, de fruits jaunes mûrs, sur un fond de céréales et de fleurs. Bouche à l'attaque souple et épicée, fruitée, ronde, bulle assez fine et discrète, finale acidulée et équilibrée. Une belle bière alliant fraîcheur, fruit et élégance.
Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat. Poured a clear straw colour with a frothy white head and a few small bubbles with some broken lace. The aroma is grainy malt, grassy citrus fruit hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a fruity, big woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
(On tap) Hazy Amber with nice white head. Lovely aroma - fragrant orangey citrus with floral notes. Light bodied with gently mouth filling carbonation- great mouthfeel. Lovely complex but light taste - fragrant, citrusy with sherbet notes. Very nice.
Bottle shared at home. Hazy yellow colour, small white lacing. Nose and taste is faint, some corinader maybe. Some hoppy bitterness in the taste. Refreshing but not very outstading.
Can. Medium Amber with perfect foam. Scent is lovely honey properties on wheat ale. Taste is nice fragrant and light, carbonated weizen with some sweetness, dryness, and some mild sour notes. Finish is light. Great.
Bottle. Foggy straw-yellow color. Aroma: citrus-fruity, light spice, wheat. Taste: citrus, light sourness, peel, fruit, wheat, quite serious hop bitterness, not bad.

Bottle from Yeme.
Aroma so intensive it reminds me dishwashing. Unbelievable. Hazy yellowish beer under massive white head of little bubbles (again dishwashing?) Taste is not really wheat like, I may find annanas there. But in overall it’s rather tasty.

Hazy straw colour, soapy head with good lacing. Beautiful floral aroma, with notes of biscuit and citrus. Quite bitter and hoppy, the wheat character isn’t dominant, well balanced by American hops. Strong grapefruit, with a strong bitter aftertaste. Medium body, smooth, average carbonation, bitter finish. Quite good!
Kicsi, de nagyon tartós hab, narancsba hajló szín. Illata nagyon enyhe, citrusos, búzás. Búzás, banános alap, markáns komlós, fűszeres ízekkel és némi citrusos beütéssel. Közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavas és keserű. Hosszú, citrusos, kesernyés lecsengésű. Nem rossz, de nincsenek összesimulva az ízkomponensek.

Hazy and straw coloured. Hoppy aroma with citrus, orange and spice. Dryish and somewhat pungent taste, followed by a solid, spicy hop flavour. Finishes quite bitter. Medium body, and a smooth mouthfeel. Overall, a pretty decent wheat IPA. Not as good as Blossom, which has a better balance. This one is too dry.

To Öl’s take on the old American wheat ale style and one that apparently made it into the top-50 in its category here, physically made in Belgium; curious to see what this Danish gypsy brewery made of a very American ’craft’ style pioneered by Anchor’s Summer Wheat in 1984. Medium thick, regularly shaped, off-white, moussy head leaving behind an intricate pattern of ’paper’ lacing and in the middle, falling apart into an equally intricate ’Brugse kant’-like, flat island; lightly hazy, ’old gold’ robe with warm orangey tinge, with a ’fog’ of yeast bits everywhere, turning equally misty and deeper orange-ish with sediment. Fragrant and rather ’dank’ aroma of lime flesh, lightly toasted white bread, fresh dill, butter on the brink of turning rancid but not quite, cream cheese, ripe starfruit, lemon zest, apricot, soap, tulips, cooked pumpkin flesh, very creamy potato mash, very vague hints of banana, minerals, iron, cloves and fresh spinach leaves. Fruity onset but restrainedly so, hints of unripe peach, some raw pineapple, vague banana (but not descending into overt bubblegum effects at all) and pear, sweetish with mildly sourish surroundings, crisp carbonation but not exagerrated for this particular style and adding minerally effects, supple mouthfeel. Softly grainy middle, pale malt sweetishness ’thickened’ by a dimly sourish and subduedly soapy wheatiness which takes over in the end but in all remains clean and slender as it should be in this specific wheat beer style, increasing amount of retronasal phenols towards the end but only adding mild spiciness; aromatic hoppiness dominates the finish, very APA-like, with a clear, pleasantly drying yet gentle bitterness, while at the same time releasing quite a lot of retronasal lime juice and ’old’ grapefruit aromas. Ends notably yeasty - though not too ’starch’-like, but the wheat slickness gets the last word, adorned by an ethereal New World hop presence both in aroma and in bitterness; light but unmistakable minerals support this hop character even more (than necessary, I’d almost add). I remember more classic examples of American wheat being more ’wheaty’ and less hoppy: this is more an APA with wheat than a ’classic’ American wheat ale to me, but since it does use wheat and this component is noticeable all the way through, I guess it qualifies and meets the requirements of the style. Hoppier than I expected, but in a good way; in all, a lovely beer for sure, I could drink this all day in summer, but beers like this are doubtlessly better fresh from tap so I hope to encounter it in that condition one day.
Cloudy golden honey color, floaters, thick tan head. Fruity nose, melon, mandarin orange, peach. Citrus taste with lemon, orange and grapefruit, spicy notes, grass, moderate bitterness. Medium body, average carbonation, oily texture.
