Good beer, very similar to Hoegaarden. Nothing really stands out for this Wheat beer, very indicative of this style. A pleasant drink.

Nice wheatbeer. Similar to Hoegaarden but with less corriander and a touch more citrus.

330ml bottle. Murky yellow/ orange appearance with a small white head. Smells fresh with notes of citrus and coriander. Fruity taste with citrus and coriander again being the main components. Good mouthfeel and carbonation. A great, refreshing wit for a hot day.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry at Smokeless Joe. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of bacon -- yes bacon! Some fruit in there too along with some wheat and spices but it’s mainly bacon. You would think a bacon aroma would be gross but somehow it works. Flavour has a smoky citrusy taste to it along with wheat, spices, fruit, some malt and hops -- I’m not big on many Wheat beers but I really like the taste of this one. One of the better and more interesting Wheat beers I’ve had.

Bottle (330ml). Shared with blankboy at Smokeless Joe. Poured murky pale yellow-orange with a small white head. Aroma - whoah, bacon! A belgian wheat and I get BACON?!! Also citrus, ashy belgian wheat character, coriander, fruit - quite different. Taste is not of bacon, but there’s a smokiness here, also plenty of spice (coriander, black pepper), citrus (lemon), some light sweet malt, light hops, cereal grains and a floral/perfumy finish. Mouthfeel is quite spicy and lively. An oddball belgian witbier, but I really liked that smoked bacon character.

Hazy, straw-yellow with very little, white head. Sour and spicy clove aroma, riddled with lemon and cerealy / cheerios. Nice flavours: a blend of clove and lemon and cereal grains that’s a bit sweet, but not overly. Would have been way more refreshing (i.e., much better) if there was a slight sourness and more carbonation and a lighter body.

LCBO bottle from the fall. Forgot I had this. Pours a cloudy yellow body with a medium sized white foamy white head. Aromas are mild bananna, spices and honey. Apples too. Taste is weak for a hefe I think. Apples and citrus, spices too, but pretty watery. Finish is faint citrus flavour with some bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel. Decent.
