Tap at the brewhouse. Light golden color, tall fine head. Slightly cloudy. Huge carbonation. “Kristal Klar” type. Slightly rancid aroma with wheat malt, banana, cloves, and butter -- too much butter. Light body, lightish flavor, clean and crisp with good wheat malt, fruit, banana, and spice. Best of the lot, despite the slightly odd aroma.

My Bottom Line:
Tropical fruit esters yield personality to this quirky, full-bodied Hefeweizen, whereas bready yeast and hay-like malts whip up sustenance. Sadly, this was the only Fujiyama beer which didn’t show any brewing problems.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A lemon wedge was served on a side dish, thankfully.
-Glass was frozen, yet the veil of foam remained atop the cloudy beige straw.
-The odd but pleasant fruit mix is reminiscent of a fruit salad yoghurt.
-Raw and flavorful, this was their best by far that day.
