3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 ZiggyG (131) - Gladstone, Oregon, USA - SEP 1, 2008
500 mL bottle. Pours dark gold. Huge white billowy head, probably 3+ inches. Lots of big sediment, almost too much. Very cloudy. Smell is yeasty and a bit funky. Wow, esters slam into your tongue on tasting. Banana and bubblegum, getting sweeter and sweeter as they head to the back of the throat. Mouthfeel is light-medium. Very nice refreshing brew. This one has a little funk in the aftertaste but it hardly diminished the quality.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 sstackho (249) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 18, 2008
500mL bottle purchased for $3.30 - I think it was from Wine Emporium in Boston. Freshness unknown. An interesting pour into a weisse glass. Started off light, getting much darker as the bottom of the bottle was poured in. Although I swished the end of the bottle lots to shake up the sediment, there were still numerous chunks in the glass... so I stirred it with a spoon! My first time ever doing that. The end product is a cloudy grey-gold. Medium aroma of a typical weisse - yeast, banana and bubblegum. Taste is solid. Quite yeasty, which gives it a bit more of a spicy character perhaps than some other weisses.

Bottle. A muddy orange brown beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is extremely sweet with strong notes of banana and wheat. The flavor is very sweet and acidic with notes of banana, wheat, and citrus with a dry sour end. The body is thin.
