DruncanVeasey (6101) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Premier, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - SEP 21, 2012
Sampler perched at the bar of the brewpub, 31/08/12, scribbling notes like a lunatic in retractable pencil on a scrap of paper. Grey-apricot haze skimmed with white. Lactic-edged, milky banana aroma. Farley’s rusk dunked in banana milk and lemondrop character. Not a classic but perfectly drinkable.

I’m glad this is classified as a wheat ale instead of hefeweizen. It stands up much better in a style without as much expectations. The pour is cloudy yellow, and it has a pleasantly crisp wheat character, a slightly tart middle and a lemon peel finish. A little doughy, and I did pick up some slight buttery diacetyl, but overall it was a nice refreshing wheat ale. No spicy yeast flavors to speak of at all.

Hazy yellow colour. DMS, dirty dishwater and diacetyl. Watery palate. There’s very few redeeming qualities to this one.

SamGamgee (2452) - down the whirlpool, California, USA - MAR 14, 2010
Draught at the brewpub. Hazy blond with a white head. Spicy nose with a hint of banana and wheat. A little sweet, but a good ester profile that has a nice mix of subtle clove and banana. Restrained, but still plenty of character. Low on the hops, but that’s to be expected. Highly carbonated and light in body. Pretty good hef.

Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - SEP 5, 2009
On tap. Pours a cloudy opaque golden with an off-white head. Sweetish fruity nose - but not very bananaish. Medium body, sweet fruit with only a discreet edge of yeast. Dry finish, OK as such, just not very Hefe-like. 250709

From tap at the brewpub. Pours murky yellow with a small white head. Aroma is mild citric, light wheaty. Mild wheaty and subdued estery fruity flavoured. Light bitterness into a dry wheaty and slight phenolic finish.

Ungstrup (26193) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - JUL 14, 2009
Draft at the brewpub. An unclear dark golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by wheat but also light notes of banana and fruity esters. The flavor is sweet with notes of wheat and light notes of citrus, leading to a lightly dry wheaty finish. The body is on the light side.

FirmButtstone (48) - Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA - APR 9, 2009
First of, this is not a German Hefe, it is and American wheat all the way though. Hazy yellow with white head. Smell and taste of wheat. There is no banana / clove nots of the German style. As an American Wheat it is very good. No problems at all, clean and nice overall.
