Draught at the brewpub
Hazy blond color; nice lace. Served with a lemon wedge, and it’s a pity to cover the aroma, because there is some nice malt and toffee. The flavor is worse than the aroma, with some malt, but spoiled by a very harsh bitterness, too strong and nasty.

Glass, 6 ounces, draught, at the pub, savoured on May 1 2009; eye: golden with straw hue, hazy, no effervescence, tiny ring of creamy white head, slight lacing; nose: wheat, yeast, acidity; mouth: wheat, acidity, yeast, acidic finale that squashes the wheat, light body, rather carbonated and acidic, a bit thin, a bit watery; overall: ordinary FRANÇAIS Verre, 6 onces, en fût, bue sur place, savourée le 1er mai 2009; œil : dorée avec une bonne teinte paille, voilée, pas d’effervescence, petit anneau de mousse blanche crémeuse, très légère dentelle ; nez : froment, levure, acidité; bouche : roment, acidité, levure, finale acide qui écrase le froment, corps léger, plutôt carbonatée et acide, un peu mince, un peu aqueuse; en résumé : ordinaire

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a hazy yellow-orange color with a white head. Smelled of honey and lemon mostly with a bit of banana waved over it. Light bodied, watery, and dry. Tasted of minimal caramel, stale banana, a bit of tart lemon, and, like most of the other beers made here, white paper.

A little weak and kind of bridges the gap stylistically between an American Wheat and a German Hefe. Not a lot in the nose, you can distinguishthe malt proflie, but not alot of the yeasty spiciness.

On tap at the brewpub. A poor hefe. Lacey, and the wheat is there is appearance. It is fresh. Rather light in mouthfeel for the style and they didn’t get it.

On Tap at Alfie’s 40th Birthday. Tried all theier beers, and none were really noteworthy.

On tap at Dockside. Gold, with thin white head. Wheat, cereal, lemon aroma. Quite agile in mouth. Bit of toffee malt. Quite a nice wheaty finish. Not as intense as some, but drinkable. Good wheat beer aroma. Moderate hop presence on end.

Light and not cloudy. Bubblegum. Sweet aftertaste. Not much of a head, little lacing. I’ve had worse.

(Draught) First dockside that seemingly had carbonation. Thin, white dissipated head with a slightly cloudy body. Nose is oddly strong of toffee squares. Very toffee malt? Well-off in flavour and quite disgusting!

Hazy straw color,lasting off white head.Rich wheat malt nose and taste. Creamy mouthfeel. Surprisingly full bodied. The best I had at this Brewery even if not true to style
