On tap at The Rake, London. Hazy gold body topped with a decent white foamy head. Spicy wheat aroma with citrusy notes. Refreshing malty/hoppy taste with hints of coriander, citrus, yeast and spices. Ends with a long yeasty/spicy finish.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours a hazy extremely pale yellow withe small white head. Good lacing, light body, and low carbonation. Taste is light lemon, coriander, and a hint of spice. Very refreshing.

355 ml bottle from MyBrewerytap.com. Pours unclear light yellow with a big frothy white head. Aroma is spicy and yeasty. Taste is sweet malty, lots of spices and wheat. Ends with some good citrus hops. A good one.

12 oz bottle pours a cloudy golden color with a nice white head. Aromas of lemon, wheat, and some spice. Light bodied, easy drinking, great summer drinking

Bottle pour. This one had an offensive chlorine/bleach aroma that covered up most of the qualities I think the aroma should have had. Other than that I could detect some yeast and spice in the nose. Poured a nice hazy light yellow/white color that was quite appealing. Tasted pretty good with light citrus and spices and a wit style wheat presence. Almost meaty undertones. Pretty good flavor/bad smell. Oxidation?

From an old rating note: cloudy yellow pour with a bright white head. aroma of yeast and apple. Tastes are wheat, flowers and light caramel. Spices in finish.

12 ounce draft pour, has a hazy yellow hue with a thin white head. Aromas os orange, wheat, and a little yeast. Flavors of a sweet orange with a tart lemony aftertaste.

A bit disappointing. Certainly, the colour was right, and the cloudiness was appropriate. However, apart from a slight tart twang at the beginning, the flavour left one wanting something a bit more. Perhaps this will work well for a hot summer day for some, but a bit too thin for me.
