Glouglouburp (2782), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Dec 7, 2006 Cloudy golden-yellow body with a large white head. Aroma has the expected wheat and some citrus but less banana than I’m used for the style. I also note a little coriander presence. I don’t smell that often in german weizen. Mouthfeel is pleasant although the body is a bit thin. Wheat presence is moderate but the beer is also surprisingly yeasty. There’s also a nice lemon/lime twist. Overall this felt like a cross between a german weizen and a beligian witbier, and a good one at that. I liked it, a good one from Hacker. If all hackers were that nice I woudn’t need a firewall. DrewTaylor (154), Michigan, USA Nov 28, 2006 Hazy golden yellow color. Nice white head. Citrus aroma with strong lemon and orange tones. Tates of slight sourness and yeast with a great citrus character. Unique and drinkable. Great Beer. PilsnerPeter (2598), Flushing, New York, USA Nov 26, 2006 Pours a hazy orangey golden with consistant off white head. Big banana aroma and loads of yeast. Very creamy body, solid wheat malt with eccentuated fruityness of ripe sweet banana, slight, soft orange citrus character and a big late yeastyness. Extremely drinkable. HopBackDoc (393), Hatboro, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 24, 2006 On draft. Hazy golden color with small fluffy white head. Grains and spice in the nose. Smooth malty wheat flavor accented by cirtus and cloves, bread and banana in the background. Smooth and somewhat thick mouthfeel. Very enjoyable and easy drinking. Derek881 (489), Frederick, Maryland, USA Nov 21, 2006 Sampled this beer from the bottle, poured into a glass. A light, but cloudy, amber color with a thick white head and lots of carbonation. Very wheaty taste and aroma, with yeast scents as well. A moderately sweet beer with a slightly bitter after taste. The body and texture were both somewhat thick. RaphaelN (195), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Nov 16, 2006 500ml bottle. Very reminiscing of Fin du Monde. A moderately complex beer, with very familiar tastes. Not as well brewed as the latter, but it definitely holds its own. Wheaty taste with a yeasty smell. Pale golden brown pour. May satisfy those who like Fin du Monde. But not my cup of tea. hindan02 (24), macomb, Michigan, USA Nov 6, 2006 a great hazy golden color with a good head and a great wheat taste this is a safe bet for a wheat beer , but there are many others that are better bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA Nov 3, 2006 Draft, Hazy amber beer with a whitish head. Clove, banana aroma. Clove, banana flavor with some wheat backing. Medium bodied. Nice balance without too much wheat. Nice yeasty qualities.
