Commercial Description:
Nothing refreshes you more than this naturally cloudy wheat beer with its wonderful yeasty fragrance and taste. Goes well with dishes that do not have too intensive a flavour, especially that Bavarian speciality 'Weisswurst' or white sausage.

Poured into snifter, shared with 502flavors. Initially a 2 finger white fluffy head that quickly diminished leaving a small ring with a light yellow/water color. Aroma is straight overripe bananas and heady cloves, flavor to match. Carbonation makes for a dry finish in the beginning but towards the end it was a mild not dry finish.

bottle. Pours a slightly hazy light orange with a frothy barely off-white head that fades to a ring and a thin foamy film. LIttle to no lace. Banana and clove and wheat dominate the aroma - spicy. Flavor is the same with a tiny hop presence to balance it out. Yeasty finish. Medium to light body with effervescent carbonation, a bit too much for my taste but on cue with the style. Overall: not my style, but very refreshing. A great summer session beer.

Bottle. Hazy amber with a big whitish head. Oarange/banana/malt aroma with some yeast and spice. Wheat/malt flavor with good frutiiness (orange/slight darker fruit) and yeast. Medium-light body. Easy drinking and refreshing. Orange and wheat/malt lingers with some yeastiness.

bottle. Cloudy yellow, mid-sized white head. Fruity-malty nose. Medium-bodied, malty with a nice wheat character and a rather shy fruityness. Yeasty background. Good.

On tap at Stone. Cloudy amber in the glass with a resilient white head. Sweet citrus and honey nose. Banana. Nice thickness in the mouth. Complex and subtle flavors. Not my favorite style, but this one I enjoyed.

500 ml. bottle. Pours a huge fluffy white head of good duration, with some lacing, over a cloudy yellowish (SRM 5-7) body.....nose of apple, pineapple, lemon, bit of bubblegum/banana, and the usual clove......taste initially is tart apple and pineapple, ending with clove, dry thoughout.....mouth feel is light, carbonation high. Hits the style exactly.
