3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
From the bottle. Cloudy, pale yellow-orange. Fine head, lots of bubbles. Fragrant banana and spice aroma. Fruity, but not overly sweet. Clean, brisk taste, rather lightish in body, slight sour/citrus flavor, with banana and clove, medium wheat malt. Very good balance between light clean style and rich sweet style. Finish is a bit bitter. A very nice summer weizen.

My Bottom Line:
The union of banana esters, spicy hops and bready yeast in this Hefeweizen is wisely served through a soft mouthfeel that ensures the highest quaffability.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the cloudy apple juice yellow.
-The soft prickling of carbonation doesn’t bother the balanced flavor profile.
-All flavors play equal in this Weizen, even in the finish.
On tap at Ushitora.
