Cloudy light gold with a huge shaving cream meringue head. Nose of yeast and citrus. Taste of yeast, cloves, lemon, and a bitter fiinish. As good as a wit can be.

Bottle. Cloudy golden beer with a strong white head. The aroma is mildly yeasty and the flavour is thickly yeasty and lightly dry and very lightly citric. Overall a reasonable beer.

Bottle: Poured a bright hazy yellow color with a thick creamy white head. The aroma is spicy citrus and yeast smell. The taste is soft slightly bitter citrus that finishes with a spicy rusty finish.

Very well done wheat nose with banana, spices and yeast. Hazy dark gold color with massive head. yeasty wheat body with plenty of spice hanging around and some hops for balance.

Cloudy hefe-like body with a big, long-lasting head. Initial sips give off something of a bite, with a hint of spice and some bitter citrus rinds. But as you get into the beer, it seems to reduce to just one dimension, a full and very tart note that lingers throughout. It’s pleasant, but I’d have liked something more complex from this fine brewery.

Hazy, amber/gold appearance with a large, white head and decent lacing. Yeasty aroma, full of spices, with citrus in the balance, creating a great first impression. Soft citrus hit the tastebuds first, predominately orange, before a more wheaty, spicy flavor kicks in. Low keyed hoppiness. Smooth, medium-bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel, leading to a dry, tart, average length finish.

Poured out of a 12oz bottle. Light yellow, cloudy, unfiltered morning piss color. Smells like ripe apples, banana, and chlorine? Smells good overall. Flavor is sour bananas. Where is the sour coming from? Fermented white grapes and wheat. But after the 20th sip, it’s growing on me. The mouthfeel is silky, but still sour. Overall, i won’t have it again, but if nothing else is around, it’s a good brew over many others.
