Denison’s Brewing Company
Brewed at Cool Beer Brewing Co.
Style: German Hefeweizen
Toronto, Canada

Serve in Weizen

thought it more of a banana smoothie with a carbonation/yeast, like a yogurt kafir beverage. Nice appearance though.

Can, thanks to our neighbor in the parking lot at DLD! Poured near-clear honeyed golden with a dense cap of white head. The aroma picked up sweet, toasted bananas and bubblegum with very enjoyable cracked black pepper accent to it.. exactly what I wanted out of my hefe. The flavor opened with tart lemon rind and wheaty notes, with semi-sweet bananas following closely.. spicy pepper and tart wheat surrounded.. sweet and a bit grainy on the finish with banana and bubblegum sugars spiced up by black pepper and cloves. Medium-bodied and well-balanced on the palate.. enough sweetness to be succulent, but not enough to mute the complementary wheat. Excellent stuff!

Can, i hear you have to have this on draft, but i haven’t had that option yet. Pours a hazy golden body with a white head. Lighly spicy, wheat tones, light lemon grass, and a mild sweetness. Soft and sweet with a mild body. A nice weizen.

UPDATED: AUG 30, 2007 August 2007. Draft at Volo. Yellow-orange body with a nice fluffy white head. Very yeasty aroma with moderate banana esters and muted citrus notes. (7+) Yeasty flavour as well with a healthy dose of banana esters, very light bitterness throughout, light hints of lemon citrus. Medium bodied palate. Very quaffable and refreshing with more than enough flavour to be interesting 7+/5/8/4/17 - 4.1 <P>June 13 2003. St. Lawrence Market Craft Beer Show . I tried the Denison’s at C’est What earlier in the week and was pleased to see that it was still as excellent as I remember from Denison’s brewpub. I was eager to compare the two side by side. The Wunder Weisse was also excellent, but had more clove flavour than Denison’s. I prefer the Denison’s as I find it leans slightly more towards the fruity side of the equation with just enough clove. I believe that is a result of the yeast strains used but I could be wrong. Either way, I look forward to seeing Denison’s in the LCBO or the beer store. 7/5/8/4/18 -4.2

UPDATED: MAY 10, 2003 Nicely made German wheat. I had pleasant aroma and look. Very refreshing but it does need a bit more banana flavour.

Tap at Volo. Wow- I finally get to try this great beer! Pours a nice hazy golden with a big lasting white head. Aroma is very fresh, powerful wheat and doughy pils malt with a lot of phenols- clove and vanilla, esters are on the subdued side- very light banana- clean. Flavor is earthy, doughy, spritzy clean phenolics, clove, light bubblegum, tons of bready wheaty dough- with a big full malt profile- maybe decocted? Just very clean, big mouthfeel of malt yet so drinkable- carbonation is high- which gives a great lively palate an aftertaste. Very awesome Hefe.

UPDATED: JAN 28, 2007 Draught at Volo. *I don’t generally like wheat beers. But read on* Pours a cloudy orange-yellow, average creamy white head, excellent lacing - eye-catching. Nose is heavily malty-citrus, almost sweet - some hops and ash, with white wine and yeasty chemical notes too - very tempting, almost like a good shandy. Taste is slightly acidic/tart, with sweet and mild malt, ash, enough hops to balance the sweetness, and huge notes of orange, mango, banana. Light and refreshing in the mouth, pleasantly balanced average linger, a perfect - I mean PERFECT - summer beer. Best wheat beer I’ve tasted by far, perhaps not a purist’s weissbier though. Update January 2007 - after dozens of pints of this, I cannot in good conscience rate it below 4 - simply one of Canada’s consistently best beers; world class.

Can provided by TheJester. Thanks a bill!! 5.3% abv version. It pours hazy golden with a medium white head. The aroma is clove, banana and light citrus. The flavour is truely authentic. Banana, lots of citrus, clove and wheat. Overall quite classic but nothing outstanding.
