On tap at Bobby G’s. Pours a clear light light amber with a small white head that has good retention and leaves big streaks of lacing on the glass. Aroma is some bready yeast, clove, pepper, some light floral notes, and biscuit. The taste is a peppery spicyness, clove, some floral notes, and biscuit. The finish is bready yeast with a light bitterness. Quite dry throughout. Light bodied. Heavy carbonation. Good, but not great.

Draft. Straw colored beerw ith a whitish head. Wheat and orange aroma with spice. Wheat and spice flavor. Medium bodied. Wheat and spice lingers with light citrus.

7/21/11 boontlinger@pap Hazy gold with a white head. A is mildly banana, wheaty, slight spice. F=A with a lemonish mid palate. Med body, a little starchy. 6/3/6/3/3.2

Draft at the Pour House in Westmont, NJ. Pours a slightly cloudy, dark golden yellow color with a one finger white head that slowly fades into a thin ring. Splotches of lacing left behind. Zesty spicy aroma with hints of corriander and peppery cloves along with subtle citrus and some bready yeast. Lots of lemon peel with faint banana. Mostly citrus and spice. Medium bodied with a crisp hop bite and prominent spice character up front that lingers over the sweeter notes into a dry slightly tart finish. Lots of zesty coriander/peppery clove followed by sweet fruit and bready yeast. The yeast character is stronger than the aroma suggests adding fullness to the body and some depth. I’m also picking up more banana than I did in the nose. Still some lemon peel but banana, spice and yeast overpower it a but. Decently balanced and easy to drink but nothing out of the ordinary.

[3922-20110820] Tap. Light banana yeasty wheat notes in the aroma. Clear, orange brown body with quick foamy off-white head. Yeasty wheat flavour has a bit of a plastic straw note. Medium body. Would be a good pairing for French onion soup, I think. (6/3/6/3/11) 2.9
Overheard: "We could have a blue ball party!" "That would be worth it just for the invitations."

On tap at River Rock Tap House, Sacramento. Pours clear yellow with a modest white head and a citrus aroma. There is a carbonated wheat flavor with some banana ester and a nice yeast presence. Balanced and tasty.

Tap at GABF. Clear golden-straw color with a fairly large white head. Banana and sweet fruit and malt notes on the aroma. The flavor is too sweet and rather simple. Sugar, banana, and esters. Thin on the mouthfeel with average carbonation. Dude, no.

on draft. a typical weiss beer with a mild to medium wheat and spice flavoring. had a decent flavor but quickly disappears though i was looking for it to linger on a bit the aroma is better than the overall flavor.

2011-08-10. Crisp yellow body with a small white head. 3+ Flavour is mild, dry grassy touches and wheaty tartness. Aroma is mild, wheat and grass notes. 6+ Average to light bodied palate. Okay, not particularly flavourful. On tap at Coles, Buffalo
