Appearance: a hazy, rusty yellow color, replete with floating specks, boasting a big, blooming head tht fizzles down to size rather quickly.
Aroma: lively, spicy, citric, and sour.
Nice tanginess in the texture, initially, but it’s dullsville from there on down.
All the proper earmarks of a weizen are in attendance, but there’s nothing really going on, flavor is slight, body is small. I’ve heard good things about this beer, but they didn’t come out of this bottle!

Sep 6, 2008 Nice pour, initially lively fizzling white head, nice presentation in the bottle, but enjoyed more from a pint glass, very sweet with hints of candy maybe, definitely yeast, bitter finish, refreshing.

Jul 28, 2008 Swing top bottle (5,5% ABV). An unclear dark yellow beer with a huge and persistent white head. The aroma is yeasty and malty with notes of lemon and bubblegum. Average nose. The flavour has a light to medium acidity and is quite classic for the style, maybe with more citric notes. Light banana and some spiciness. Almost medium body, average carbonation, medium finish with light bitterness. Nice, but maybe too watery. Overall refreshing and good for this season.

Jul 1, 2008 One of my first experiences with the style and I have to admit it almost put me off of them for good. This was just a basic take on the style, nothing especially wrong with it, other than I thought it was way too tame and light for the style. Very one dimensional, very wheaty and malty, with a ligher than usual spice profile, and lots of citrus acidity. Finishes kind of weak.

Jun 22, 2008 Hazy amber appearance with a good-looking white lacing head. Delicious aroma of top fermented wheat beers with a hint of banana, some cinnamon, light citrus. The flavor is complex with fruity tastes of yeast, some apple and light hop. Fine wheat aftertaste.

Jun 12, 2008 50 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a huge, creamy and white head. Classic banana fruity ester aroma. Flavour is medium dry wheaty with a nice and somewhat complex yeasty fruit mix, different esters mixing in and out: banana, citrus and light apple too. Ends smooth and fruit estery.
