Oct 28, 2007 Hazy, very pale golden hue covered by a lasting white cover leaving minimal lacing. Lightly alcoholic, honeyed aroma with soft lemony coriander and fresh cream notes. A bit phenolic and peppery in mouth. Its yeast certainly imparts some interesting and original character. Juicy palate, yet with medium-high carbonation, fitting the wheatiness. Very well extracted, apparently this contains 50% wheat and it takes a lot of room indeed. Subtle spiciness, gentle banana… all in the right direction. Well-bodied and warming ale. A rare breed of a pale weizenbock and I’m glad to see it so interesting.
