450 mL bottle. (bb 14/12/08) Hazy orange gold with a small but persistent white head. The usual spicy babana-clove aroma. The flavour begins the same, but tails off into a thin sweetness about half way through. Appropriately carbonated. A nice summer beer, but for the finish.

The beer pours a pale hazy yellow, with a white head. The aroma is light banana, spice, with big wheat notes. The flavour is also a very light mix of fruit and spice. Ok, so this beer isn’t that inspired, but it’s really friggin refreshing, it has high drinkability, and keeping those two in mind, it’s relatively tasty.

Swing top bottle-5.3% ABV indicated ion the bottle. This one pours a deep and clouded yellow with a nice fluffy white foam. The aromas show banana and spices with apple and pear, lending a hand to a strange straw component I don’t find in most wheats. The taste is quite a bit of banana and oranges with sweet pear, alongside spicy clove and hop bitterness. Quite creamy and pleasing finish. Nice lingering banana pie aftertaste. I like it.

450 ml bottle from the LCBO. pours foggy golden with a mid sized white head. aromas are typical weizen. flavours are a bit watery with a cardboard finish. not terrible but there are much better summer brews then this.

Bottled. Cloudy golden coloured, firm head. Wheaty nose, some fruit. Wheat in flavour, some fruit, artificial notes though, and some odd sweetness i can’t define. Poor Hefeweizen.

Bottle, 5.3%. Photogenically heaped weizen, pale and spiralling. Nose sharp and woodsy with wheat and faint banana. Highly carbonated unfruity weiss with plenty of biscuity wheat but not much in the way of esters, clove etc. Erdinger is probably the closest comparison. A bit watery, but still quietly impressive. Especially as I expected it to be shit.

Yellow and slightly murky. The murkiness clears after a while.low carbonation with a gentle wheatiness. Quite well balanced. Wouldn’t go out my way for another but still think its a reasonable drink.

Slightly hazy golden blond coloured beer. Small white head. Nice carbonation. Herby and malty aroma. Full palate. Ending is nicely balanced herby and malty touches.
