Some info HERE Either way they are both nice varieties to have.

Sound interesting.The yeast character may be muted by the malt bill maybe?????? Let us know how it turns out you Pioneer. Weizen nigrescens

Is that at DeBortoli? There was a guy called Vin who posted on beer advocate a couple of years back hinting that debortoli was looking at brewing beers.He seemed to be involved.HERE'S the thread Never heard anymore about it until now.

2nd that, 14 days in primary for all ales is my standard. Straight to bottle ,no 2ndary.Yeast will clean up diacetyll etc... with a much cleaner slightly more attenuated beer.

:lol: That the descriptor I'd give to simco hops. Seriously though. I think we should all be growing our own late addition hops and subbing whatever is available(high alpha) from NZ to bitter.

You may be a top poster, brewer, with good info and heaps of experience to share(bless ya) ;) .............But that is the worst type of rhyming what not that I've seen.It's almost as bad as the butchery that Aussie Hip Hop artists(?) inflict on us under the dubious title of lyrical poetry.

Yeah I thought it was a little less aromatic the last time I had it(12 months ago at least), still like it though as a nice easy drinker. I like a thinner/drier type ale ,but was severely dissapointed with the golden ale when it came out , big hop nose but an absolute gutless malt backbone to...
