50cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Florida). Pours a cloudy, hazy golden lemon color with a thick, frothy creamy white head that gracefully laces the glass. Smells slightly sweet with citrus and ripe fruit. Taste is much of the same -- slightly sweet with bursts of lemon and other citrus flavors to the point that it is almost tart. Lively carbonation with a slightly tart, pointed finish. Nice, refreshing wheat ale.

Sep 1, 2008 (50cl bottle) Large white head atop hazy apple juice body. Aroma is moderately sweet, banana, bubblegum. Taste is medium sweet, bubblegum, some banana. Watery light body with low carbonation.

Aug 30, 2008 (bottle) Pours a very hazy light gold as a copious amount of yeast was deposited into my weizen glass upon pouring. The aroma (as well as previous ratings) are an immediate red flag that this is not a good hefe. Instead of the nice vanilla, clove, or banana, there is lemon, must, and sourness mixed with a yeast undertone. Pretty awful actually. The taste is very underwhelming, with this light sweetness that could be mistaken for some banana, but is more dominated by a citric flavor with a somewhat crisp wheaty finish and a medium body. This was not even remotely good, and I immediately regretted purchasing the bottle.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottle: Poured a hazy golden color weizen with a huge white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of banana ester with some wheat malt also noticeable. Taste is also a well balance mix between some light banana ester and some wheat malt. Full body with great carbonation which I enjoy in this style. While this is well done, I would have appreciated some more banana and clove ester.

Bottle brown, 500 ml
Appearance: Pours bright and hazy metallic citrusy yellow, reminding pale orange juice being slightly watered down, carbonataion of the body is mild and like of a natural origin, head is huge, pillowy, deep frothy to creamy, snowy white, slowly decreasing to medium, still lasting and firm. There is a nice lacing.
Aroma: Slightly accidic, chalky with a considerable accent of barley grains and barley malt, being exposed and up - front, even making the impression of more barley oriented than wheaty, wheat malt hides at the background being reduced in fruityness, no characteristic banana or clove accents.
Flavour: Again more malty than wheaty, strong barley grains on palate and barley malt, strong accidity and strong chalkyness, bitter and citrusy of a lemon and grapefruit like hoppyness, strickingly similar to many Classic German Pilseners of a good quality. Good and assertive, worth interest and surprising for its pilsener profile. Mineral nose, strong saltyness.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is a bit rough and accidic, carbonation on palate is lively, finish feel is chalky, mineral, accidic, grainy with reduced wheat - yeast accents, slightly aromatic of citrusy origin with gentle notes of cardboard.

Aug 19, 2008 Pours a nice hazy pale yellow color with froathy white head. Aroma sweet, a bit hayish, and lemony. Flavor light and sweet, grassy, lemon, banana. Nice substance and not too overkilled with spice or spicey yeast.
