Appears a hazy light gold with a small pure white cap that slowly fades into a collar. Little streams of carbonation pump their way up to the top of the glass. Smell is of Bavarian yeast, banana, cream, clove, and sulfer dioxide. I asked the brewer, Chris Rafferty, about the sulfer smell and he agreed that it is there. He also said that he felt that it belonged there with the style. Taste is of the banana, beautiful wheat, bubblegum, clove, along with that funky sulfer that is slightly obtrusive but not overly offensive. Mouthfeel is sweet, crispy, smooth, and semi-dry.

Pours turbid gold, with a nice creamy white head. Aroma of citrus, yeast. Tastes like citrus, with some yeast, banana, malt, and fruit in the finish. Good beer.

Good weissbier. Seemed a little on the lighter side, as in thin, but that’s OK. Refreshing and a good representation of the style. No complaints here.
