Delicate and short-lived head. Light aromas of green apples and wheat. Everything about this is subtle and light: body, palate, finish, overall complexity. The acidity is lighter than I would’ve preferred for this style. I love the reference below to "watery lemon juice" and would completely agree. Very average.

Jul 9, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Clear straw with some floaties. White head fizzed up like pouring a Sprite, then was gone.Somewhat sweet nose, light, sweet lemon and granny smith apple.Light cereal flavors, lemony with a touch of green apple flavors. Mildly tart. Light, smooth and clean, it’s gone from the palate in a minute, leaving just a mild dryness. Not bad.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle courtesy tpd975. Pours a hazy pale golden with a large white head that fades leaving some spotty lacing. Aroma of citrus, wheat, light acidity, and yeast. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium creamy mouthfeel with a slightly tart crisp finish. Very good.

Jun 11, 2008 Pours pale yellow into a trappist glass. Bright white head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sharp yeast from front to back but rather light and watery.

Jun 6, 2008 11.2oz bottle. Poured a medium and hazy/cloudy yellow color with a larger sized white head. Aromas of yeast, bready, dried out lemon peels, and wet/musty wheat (almost like a pile of horse manure). Tastes of wheat and lemons. Verly light tart finished. Description was spot on with ’...more mellow version of teh Berliner Weisse style...;.
