Relatively mild and clean aroma, bananas, cloves, just a touch of citrus. Seems to have a high percentage of barley malt. Slightly dark gold color, but with a small head and lots of large bubbles. Medium rich wheat malt flavor, slightly earthy as well. Slightly thin and spritzy body. Not bad but too thin and light and not enough wheat flavor.

Appears a hazy pale gold with a small white head that fades into a mild collar. Smell is of musty wheat with clove, sligh bananas, and bubblegum. Taste is of the same aromas with a mild musty grassiness found in the flavors. Mouthfeel is watery, spicey, sweet, that fades into a somewhat watery, and dead finish.

Poured a hazy golden color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops, light spices, some skunk, with wheat, yeast, and faint banana or bubblegum. Taste of light citrus, some tartness, more wheat, with bubblegum, and light spices in the finish.

A slightly cloudy straw color with a small white head. Mild spice scent, some wheaty sweetness and mild corriander flavor. Drinkable but rather bland. It seems as every brewery is now brewing a Weizen, some are quite good but most are average at best. This falls into the later category.
