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.

Pours a cloudy orange with thick white head. Aroma of citrus, banana, wheat. Similar taste. Very crisp and light. Pretty good Hefeweizen.

Mild haze considering the style. Foamy, but quickly dissipating near white head. Leaves no lace. Straw color. Strong wheat aroma with a notable dollop of yeast in the nose. A dry beer with a sour aftertaste. Good wheat presence in the taste. Thin bodied--not filling at all; high level of carbonation. A good summer beer.

Hazy gold/orangeish color with a highly carbonated white head. Aroma of banana, citrus, and spices. Flavor has banana and light orange with a light spiciness in the finish. This is an excellent american-brewed rendition of the German Weissbeir variety - one of the best I have come across.

12 oz b9ottle. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a bright white head that is foamy. Nose is light pepper and some crisp citrus notes, mostly lemon. Palate is a little thin and quite effervescent. Flavors are more of the lemon and light pepper and other citrus notes.

Poured from bottle. Light, crisp, and refreshing. Citrus notes. A bit of pineapple in the background. Good for a hot summer’s day. Would seriously consider making this my session wheat ale for the summer months.

Pours an effervescent hazy yellow colour with a foamy white head that retains very well. The aroma is intense for the style, with banana/clove wheat, coriander, kiwi, pear and other light fruits, along with some subdued impressions of citrus. The flavour is vibrant and refreshing, with lemon grass, clove, doughy bread, coriander, and light fruits. The palate is actually crisp and smooth, unlike many advertised macro lagers. It has an airy texture. Very nice representation of the style.

Pours cloudy gold with fizzy head. Aroma of banana and yeast with pear and apple maybe. Velvety on the palate. Taste is crisp with fruit and spice. An excellent example of the style.

Tasting at a beerfest [Disclaimer: This was tasted along with many, many other beers during a tasting at Julios. Some of the details are a little hazy]. Fairly typical example of this style. Good for what it is.
