quite an unimpressive attempt, especially when compared with the american wheat they make. mouthfeel is almost foamy. hazy yellow color, and a flavor so underwhelming that it fades from memory as fast as it fades from the taste buds.

On tap at the brewpub. Pour a hazy yellow with very little head in a plain ol’ pint glass. Smells just like a banana boat, or at least what I’d imagine a banana boat would smell like. Some spicey phenols and some citric character. Banana is still up front in the flavor. Phenolic and yeasty. A nice hit of bitterness. Some DMS. Doughy on the palate. It hit the spot this time.

Strong aroma with banana, clove, and lemony citrus. Dark, cloudy golden in color and a medium head. Very apparent wheat malt flavor, along with the spicy, estery yeast and pervasive citrus which carries through to the sharp finish. A by-the-numbers German Wheat, but doesn't really suffer for it. Very citrusy and served with an un-asked for slice of lemon. Why anyone would want it is beyond me, this one is very lemony as-is.
