Grolsch Premium Weizen

[1567-20080803] 450mL bottle. Wheatie yeast aroma has a bit of toasted mild fruit skins. Hazy, medium orange body with a long-lasting foamy white head. Wheatie yeast continues in the flavour with sweetness. Medium body. Refreshing.

450 ml bottle from LCBO, served cold in a Weizen glass.

App.: Cloudy orange-gold with a tight white meringue. Aroma: Oranges and citrus, sweet, light esters of banana and tropical fruit, a touch tangy, some brown sugar, a little yeast, quite fruity. Palate: Medium-ish body, moderate effervescence. Flav.: Yeast and dough are more pronounced, tropical fruits, particularly pineapple, light citrus, light honey; dry with a bit of a fruity finish and a touch of banana esters.

Not quite typical for a Hefe-Weizen, but enjoyable.
