Serve in Flute

A hazed yellow alew tih a thin white head. In aroma, light lime and banana, lemon grass. In mouth, a light weizen with light bananas, watery and boring. On tap at brewpub, July 11 2011.

Cloudy and yellow. Thick head. Smells like a light weizen. Mix of soft limey notes and sweet weizen with banana and marshmallow. OK.

Draft @ brewpub. Certainly the wheat with lime juice added, not sure if it warrants mention as a separate beer but anyway it’s canary yellow with a stable white head. Mellow fresh lime aroma is subdued and not too candylike. Retains wheat malt character. The lime does emerge more in the flavors, but never becomes like candy thankfully. In fact, the wheat malt base is good. Can taste the malt and the fruity yeast esters complement the addition of the lime. Soft carbonation. The lime comes out actually as a nice natural rind bitterness as well as lime juice that is not too sweet. Well done, it’s balanced and clean. I was expecting something bad and so this was a good surprise.

Draught at Red Dot, Singapore. OK this beer is bullshit. It’s the weizen with lime juice mixed in. Who are they trying to fool here?
