Can poured into glass. Not really sure what I thought about this beer. Sort of reminded me of an abbey ale but with a wheat twist. Sort of strange, and though I appreciated it for what it was, I didn’t really dig it all too much.

2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
In Bavaria last week and some 3 times in the last 4 months, but I think that biases not my rating to a more stringent standard. This was a subpar effort. Pour on draft was hazy dark straw yellow, lacking full carbonation and a head on display. The aroma was stale bananas, barely enough phenolic zip. The flavor lacked the same qualities, bubble gum and fruitiness under it, heavy flavor, sticky/sickly, came off like a higher abv belgian triple, it was so strong tasting. Finish not nearly dry enough. Glad to have finished.

This is a good full flavored wheat ale with noticebale hopping. Its a rich apricot color with a little white head. The aroma is a mildly spicy wheat malt. The flavor is medium-dark wheat with an understated sweetness and a full weizen backbone with a little bubblegum amd bittering hoppiness on the finish. The finish is sptrizy amd refreshing on the palate. Though the beer is full and satisfying it maintains a lighter body and lends itself to a short session.

Aroma is phenolic bubble gum, tart lemon zest/pith, spicy wheat malt, grape fruity esters, and cooked bananas. Flavor is zesty and mouth watering lemon, light earthy wheat malt, balanced towards the lemon, faint hops and bitterness, and a dry finish. Light body and medium carbonation.
