Pours amber with a small head. Nose shows light fruit (apples, white grapes), doughy wheat and a hint of lemon. Flavours include some more fruit and wheat but also a grainy/dirty malt character. Carbonation is a bit full on. Another average attempt at a hefeweizen by an aussie brewer... seems to be a style we struggle at.

Very disappointing. Light lolly water with no depth to the lemon and citrus. A waste of time.

Bottle and tap. A hint of banana. Cloudy and pale in colour. Well balanced. A good version a the German wheat beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Hazy orange with a large white head. High bead. Aroma of lemon, cloves, banana, a slight plasticy note. Very carbonated mouthfeel. Slightly sweet with some fruit but not much bread. Crackery and spicy dry finish rushes up.

From a 330ml bottle on 18/2/2012. Pours a cloudy straw colour with a gushing head. This is ridiculously over carbonated. Has an odd chemcial aroma with some banana and clove. In the mouth, it’s very sweet with some banana and mild spice. Might be passable if it wasn’t for the dud carbonation, but as it is, it’s a disappointment. Best to stick with their stout, which is a cracker.

Bottle - pours yellow, ever so slightly hazy, bubbly white head. Straight off bananas and cloves on the nose. Slightly fizzy mouthfeel, dry up front, banana and cloves coming through in the aftertaste.

Straw wheat colour, very heavy on the carbonation. Wheaty aroma, with hints of banana. Wheat taste, not too bad.

Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours a clear golden straw colour with a small white head. Aroma of slight yeast, citrus zest and banana. Plain and simple. Banana, slight spice and cloves in the taste. Watery mouth feel. OK

Big white head strong carbonation straw colour aromas banana just mild yeast some fruit and spice flavour lemon some clove green banana mildest of bitter and yeast smooth to weak tasting weizen finish mild flavours nothing really stands out weak a no no

330ml bottle. Aromas of lolly bananas dominate with some faint spice aromas also present. Looks good but lacks the big fluffy white head. Flavour is much like the aroma in that it is sweet and pleasant. Very refreshing and quite easy to drink.
