Taps Vanilla Wheat

On tap at the Judge- Hazy dark yellow with a tiny bubbled off white cap. Yeasty nose with some citrus and wheat malt, but lacking the banana punch and clove I look for in a hefe. The taste is a bit better, and comes equipped with oranges and banana, lemon and wheat malts, a bit spicy. Creamy, fruity,yeasty finish with no trace of the mentioned vanilla. All in all, a tasty local hefe.

Aroma has a hint of wheat, malt didn’t notice vanilla, opague yellow/orange, tiny white head. Tastes of orange, malt and wheat, again vanilla is absent? Light bodied, tangy/tart, balanced, dry and refreshing. Good.

[712-20070928] Tap @ C’est What 2007 FOSB (Toronto, ON). Heavy on the wheat, aroma has a bit of ginger and a hint of lemon. Murky, yellow light brown body with a medium-lasting creamy white head. Heavy wheat continues in flavour with a hint of lemon banana aftertaste and a nod towards the vanilla bean. Medium body seems complex. Nice, unfortunately the vanilla is more hidden than anticipated.

On tap at the Winking Judge, Hamilton, Ontario... Hazy yellow no head to speak of. White lacing lasts though. Nil on the aroma.. very faint malt. Flavour is wheaty with faint vanilla notes. There is a hint of plastic in the flavour. Carbonation is moderate with a light acidicness. Body is not too watery.

Crwills bottle,surprisingly good from a decent new brewer. Very favourable cloudy wheat appearance. Creamy lace, somewhat too vanilla, but the end was good. Yeasty and wheaty. A pleasant drink.
