2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: APR 17, 2011 On tap; aroma was amazing-banana, citrus, sweet. Taste though; not what I expected. It tasted very flat (I think it was off but the restaurant said it was me). The flavor was citrusy but like I said, tasted flat almost stale. Took two sips and sent back. Would not order again

Can LCBO. Pours cloudy golden yellow with generous white head - quite beautiful. Grain and citrus notes in the aroma. Medium bodied with very pleasant mouth feel. Some sweetness amidst the grainy flavour. A beautiful beer.

On tap. Finally tried this one... Beautiful bright hazy yellow with slight white head. An explosion of citrus, banana, and clove, with a wheaty texture. Exceptional fruity flavouring, while maintaining a strong weissbier character. Just awesome.

A hazed yellow golden weissen with a thick big bubbled white head. A good aroma of frothy bananas, cloves, herbal notes, and bubble gum finale. In mouth, a smooth crisp oily banana malt with light cloves finale, well balanced and classic, up to par with the best German weizens. 500 ml can from Probstk, about 4 months old.

On tap at C’est What. 5.3% ABV. Served in a english pint glass which was a touch dissapointing..... regardless, pours clear, pale straw with tight white moderate head, lacing the glass. Well noticable aromas of banana, cloves and bubblegum in comparison to other hefeweizens. Same flavours present among the medium-light and creamy body with only a minor touch of some offensive phenolics. Medium carbonation, refreshing finish with banana flavours lingering giving it a less dry like feeling. Nice beer, I’ll have to try it in the appropriate glassware one day.

UPDATED: AUG 26, 2010 Cloudy yellow with a small head. Aroma has some banana and clove spice. Flavor is smooth sweet and some wheat with light spice and some fruit banana. Pretty solid.

A Mes rate. Can, big thanks to Doug the Shoemaker.
Looks like a weiss. Hazy lemon yellow, slight brown hue and a thin lasting white head. Glorious wheat, banana, bubblegum and vanilla aroma. Similar flavour. Just a hint of very delicate sourness in the background. Clean as hell. Effortlessly drinkable. Fantastic wheat and vanilla aftertaste. Maybe I’d just like a touch more sourness, just a touch but overall, it’s really hard to fault. A damn good example of the style and almost certainly worthy of its number one status for style. Thanks Doug!
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
473ml can from the LCBO (Dundas/Mavis)
Pours a beautiful clouded golden color with a firm head that is quick to dissipate. I pick up some fruit (citrus and banana, and maybe even sour grape). I find that this time around trying the cans is a much more enjoyable experience -- the first time I tried it when the beer was launched in the LCBO I was disappointed by the extreme sour/bitter flavors but it is much mellower now. This lends credibility to the fact they had some earlier issues when first launching the beer. Would definitely buy this again, and am glad to support the beer brewed in Toronto!
