3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Eructoblaster (2043) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - NOV 17, 2004
Bottle - 500ml, Best before 17/08/2004. Nice cloudy golden color. Its white frothy head unfortunately diminishes quickly. Pleasant yeasty aroma with strong citrusy hints. Taste is disappointing. After a bitter and carbonated attack, it gets milder and unidimensional. Overall, this is a drinkable Hefeweizen, but plenty of better products are easily findable.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20 FROTHINGSLOSH (3209) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 6, 2004
UPDATED: AUG 15, 2007 I have never encountered this company before, but being a wheat beer fiend I jumped at the opportunity to try this one. I should not have bothered. I do not know if perhaps I got a bad bottle but this is one of the worst hefeweizens I have had the misfortune to encounter. Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy amber color with a small yellow-white head. There was a wheaty aroma with some vegetal elements. The flavor was sour and vegetal. There was not much noticeable wheat in the flavor. I was very disappointed.

Bottle. Sweet banana/apricot aroma. Lightly cloudy medium yellow color. Pretty sweet flavor - fruit flavor is subtle. Moderate body. A bit too sweet without enough fruity or spicy character. Not a bad beer but there are many others that are better.

Hazy and blonde with a good amount of carbonation. Aromas are bready with some mild banana notes. Fairly yeasty flavor, with some grain and spice hints. Not a bad hefe.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 dirkules (627) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 18, 2004
dull lemon colour and quick bleach head. Spicy and fruity aroma of banana and nutmeg. Taste is flat and carbonated with lot of malt and herbal floral hops. It’s a decent tropical wheat that’d be much better if it wasn’t so bland finishing.

hazed pineapple orange with a white topping. ginger & orange zest aroma. heavy wheat, oatmeal, and spice flavors. Subtle banana yeast notes too. Im totally not a fan of the style. but not wholly bad.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 chriso (7062) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 26, 2004
Cloudy orange in colour. There’s some estery banana, but not as much as many German wheat beers. The flavour is more centred on lemony citric notes. Very refreshing. Some slight chemical/solvent hints on the finish knock it down a bit, but still a pretty decent beer. Draught at GBBF 2004.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 duff (5483) - St, Margarets, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 25, 2004
Tap@GBBF04’. Light banan esters, saur kraut, lemon and clove in the nose. Lemony dry palate, tart and tangy, not as many yeasty esters as other German wheats, this ones more lemony and tangy.
