Stew41 (1042), Caulfield, Australia Apr 9, 2009 Pretty good and pretty flavoursome. Looks, smells and tastes like the real deal. Good lift off the nose of sweet banana and bubble gum. Palate is quite dry, relative to the nose at least, and shows plenty of fizz and a welcome hint of spice. The latter really is a necessity as the palate gets slightly bogged down with mildy cloying and sweet clove and fruit. l1br4r14n (274), Washington, Washington DC, USA Apr 8, 2009 Has a cloudy yellow appearance and white head. A little sourness grew towards the finish, which I found interesting. gam (1068), brisbane, Australia Apr 5, 2009 great look in a weizen glass alround retention is good mild misty orange pour aroma wheat some spice and malt bright aromas flavour sweet malt some clove fruit taste citrus lemon orange very smooth weizen finish smooth spice fruit sweet mild bitter good flavour mouse725 (74), Albany, New York, USA Apr 4, 2009 One of the best from Flying Dog, IMO. I like the fruity sweetness it offers, and agree it tastes more Belgian at first than typical Hefeweizen. A good summer brew. rabba9 (61), Chaska, Minnesota, USA Mar 28, 2009 Aroma is of citrus and wheat. Pours cloudy yellow with a white head disappears quickly. Tastes of orange, banana, and corriander. This tastes more like a belgian (and not a very good one at that) than a hefeweizen. smith4498 (825), Miami, Florida, USA Mar 28, 2009 Pours cloudy yellow with off white head. Aomas of sweet fruit and wheat. Lots of yeast flavor and fruitiness. Pretty sweet. Medium body with soft carbonation. linc33 (177), Albany, New York, USA Mar 25, 2009 Updated: Mar 31, 2009In a bottle out of a mixpack. I didn’t think it tasted at all like a Hefeweizen, much more in the Belgian realm. Personally that’s a major plus; I wasn’t expecting to like it much. If you’re going in expecting/wanting a straight hefeweizen, go elsewhere. If you are looking for a cheap solution for a Belgian fix, give it a shot. I’ll come back to this one.
re-rate, same batch: When poured into a glass vs in bottle, much more Hefeweizen character - which knocks it down a couple points for personal preference. saxo (3513), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark Mar 22, 2009 Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is hazy golden. Aroma and taste are mild yeast, malt, hops and notes of citrus.
