Bottle. Golden pour, thin head, light aroma. Taste like tart citrus, very overpowering. A little harsh and not a good hefe.

GreatLibations (1771) - Last Supper, Arizona, USA - OCT 11, 2007
Pours a nice golden color with minimal clouding if any. A spritzy froth goes up and then down just as fast leaving not a trace of lace. Aromas of tart citrus. Medium nectar with ample residual effers. This is a bit tart with no apperant banana spice at all. The finish leaves a tartness. Overall: a poor example.

12 oz bottle- poured a golden yellow color, nice head. Decent aroma of floral and grain. Hits the mouth with a touch of hops in the medium body full of wheat and lemon, finish a bit lacking. Not a bad attempt to create a German Heffy...

xnoxhatex (1305) - Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA - OCT 4, 2007
12 oz bottle from the ever giving fridge. Cloudy yellow/light-orange with large quickly dissipating head. Aroma of sweet malt and lemon. Flavor is pretty sweet and so lemony, almost like a berlinerweisse and somewhat tart as well. Medium bodied and hotly carbonated. Interesting, pretty sweet but not as horrible as the average would suggest.

A satisfying, sweet wheat beer. I’m not big on the type, but this one was different enough to peak my interest. Cloudy pour, but a decent brew.

Ok I love wheat beers but this went waay overboard with the lemon flavoring. I added fresh lemon too as I usually do for Hefewizen’s and boy was that a mistake. It kinda of reminded me of Summer shandy but that was more subtle. It wasn’t horrible but it is one wheat I don’t think I would buy again. I didn’t taste the honey or orange at all. Still worlds better then something from the US Macro brewers.
