Commercial Description:
Walleye Wheat changes throughout the year from a Hefe to a Wit to a Dunkelweizen. This unfiltered wheat is light-bodied and smooth with a mild, hoppy nose. They use a special Canadian malt called “honey malt” to give our wheat its unique flavor.

(10/9/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in Chicago. Cloudy yellow. Aroma is fruity, with some banana, light spiciness and bubblegum notes. Sweetish wheaty flavor with a bit of yeast, some spiciness and light, slightly unpleasant, sourness. Rather light-bodied.

<b>Objectively speaking:</b> A very mild weizen with tart sourdough notes. <br /> <b>I like:</b> Soft wheatiness. Appealing banana notes. Still refreshing. <br /> <b>I dislike:</b> Totally clear… Relying heavily on the breadiness and paired with the sourness, it’s less than more pleasant to me. Bubblegum notes feel out of place among the total cleanliness.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a hazy yellow-orange color. The head was white and left some lace behind on the glass. Fairly typical hefe nose including the likes of banana, clove, and a splash of lemon. There was more banana than clove. Light to medium bodied with some delicate sweetness up front. Clove and banana were fairly evenly matched in the flavor and were accompanied by subdued citrus and caramel notes. Pretty standard and good.

[On tap at Pub] Pours a hazy orange with little head. Big clove and coriander aroma, spicy and sweet. Flavor is sweet, light orange and coriander. Dry short finish. Crisp carbonation but watery mouthful . A well made beer but very generic hefe.

On tap at the brewpub: An average hefe with the banana and clove noticable but lacking depth especailly in the mouth.
