I agree with others this is way light and filtered. Wheaty and easy to drink, no real complexities, more like a Wheat ale, but really has no characteristics of a traditional style.

german hef? this is so clear, i would figure it a kristal. close enough. super clear light yellow/gold. minimal head, soft aromas of lemon and wheat, i cannot find anything else there. dusty and soft, very easy drinking, though fairly simple and one dimensional. certainly not a bad beer or unflavorful one, just kinda plain.

6/28/08 On draught at the Brewpub. Aroma is too sweet, with no classic German phenolics coming through. Appearance is clear yellow with a moderate maintained white head. Flavor is simple wheat malt, with classic light sourness and sweetness and nearly no bittering. Mouthfeel is spritzy and tangy with medium/light body. Overall, refreshing, but the complexity is way, way too low for a German hef.

Draft at the brewpub. Cloudy lemony yellow with light gray head and lace. Steady rising carb even in a very narrow tasting glass. Nice sweet banana nose. Mild, somewhat fizzy body, but very pleasantly drinkable. Wheat sourness really takes the stage on the mid-palate and the beer showcases it perfectly. Interesting mild spicy clove toward the end. Clean, slightly yeasty finish.

on tap-pours a thin retaining white head that laces and hazy straw color. Aroma is wheat, citrus, then funky wheat. Taste is wheat, citrus, secondary grassy/spice hops. OK effervescence. Well, I’m guessing some changes have happened here, as there wasn’t one standout on my [8]quaffs, and the ‘previous’ ratings would leave one with a different expectation.
