Commercial Description:
As invigorating as the morning rays of the summer sun, Sunrise Weissbier satisfies when the heat is on, too. This unfiltered, Bavarian style ale is true to its origins with all ingredients except for the water having been imported from Germany. It remains unfiltered to feature the tangy, fruity flavors of its unique yeast. The imported German malt contributes greatly to add a crisp, citric snap that makes this beer a superb summertime refresher.

The color is a clear golden yellow with a thin head that fades very quick. The nose has some floral notes blended with malted wheat and other grains and hints of lemon grass. As you sip on it you can taste a bit of a yeast funk with subtle hops and malted wheat. It is nice and crisp and refreshing but could use more bite. Overal it has a nice complexity and flavor.

Pours a cloudy orange amber with a two finger foamy offwhite head. The nose is yeasty, clovey, some banana, wheaty, mildly sweet. The flavor is wheaty with some banana, not as much spice in the flavor, yeasty, some bubblegum. The palate is smooth and full with a low carbonation.

330 mL into tumbler (no weizen over here :( ). Pours a very cloudy dirty blonde with a two finger off-white head (would be three or four if poured into a weizen). Aroma is wheat, orange peel, pears, lemon, yeast, apricots. Taste is dried apricots and pears with some cardboardy wheat. Not too much spice balancing. Dry, cardboard aftertaste. Lacking some essentials for a hefeweizen. A good, refreshing, summer beer but not an outstanding example for the style.

Aroma soapy, sweet, and yeasty. Appearance dark and cloudy blonde. Flavor like an American version of a Belgian or German Hefeweizen. Quality. Not quite a complex enough palate for my taste, and too wannabeeish, but still a solid effort.
