<i>500ml Bottle</i>: Pours a bit darker than most weiss I’m used to, a burnt orange almost, with a thick foam head and excessive carbonation. Aroma heavy in citrus and yeast, leaving me room for concern. Flavour was as expected; a harsh blend of yeast and citrus, heavy on the lemon and orange, but just too many wobbly bubbles. I’m more partial to a smooth weiss, and this one just seems to want to hurt me like a bad girlfriend. You could do worse, but there are much better hefeweizen’s to choose from.

Nov 28, 2008 Strong citrus scent from something that looks like a Creamcicle. Very sweet with low carbonation. A touch of that grapefruity bite in the back of the throat I don’t like much.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours golden, with white head. Yeast on the nose, with citrus notes. More citrus on the tongue, with high carbonation. A decent enough Hefeweizen.

Nov 1, 2008 (bottle) upon opening the subtle aroma of banana was evident. Moderately carbonated, the beer poured a cloudy orange colour. First mouthfull contained pretty much all of the expected Hefeweizen character, although the banana flavour was somewhat muted. After a few more mouthfuls, the beer’s hop bitterness became more apparent and the wheat character remained. Mouthfeel is extremely watery, but this is not a bad thing in a beer of this style.
Pretty reasonable example of a Hefeweizen, if not Bavarian.
