Draft->juice glass (tasting@brewery): Pours a spare, white, but diminishing head that exhibits good lacing atop a clear, light yellow body. Aroma is of caramel and grain, light on the hops, and perhaps some banana in there or at least some frutiness. The body is light, the texture is thin, and there is soft carbonation. Very Germanic, but not really all that tasty (including aroma), nor really pretty to look at.

Draft at Sly Fox. Wet, sloppy malt and grain nose. Slick, wet, thin, grainy corn and sweet wheat flavor, overall quite weak and simple, but not far off from what it should be style-wise, just not very tasty is all.

Bronze with steadily rising carbonation topped by a ring of foam. Some sweet malt aroma notes and dankness of lager hops. Mildly sweet and lightly bitter on the palate with a slight cardboard finish.
