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.

On tap at Lunar Brewing Co. Short pour to a Czech-Pils glass. The color was a hazy gold with a white, foamy head and spotty lacing. The nose was soft wheat, banana, and spice... notably clove. The flavor added to these a hint of light fruit sweetness and a very appealing dryness to the finish, which sets it apart and above many other hefes for me.

Cloudy deep yellow color with a big thick white head. The aroma is big on spice, banana and wheat. Taste is solid, smooth, and rich. Finish is dry. Excellent.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden yellow, a large, rocky white head sits atop. Banana, citrus, spices and wheat aromas. Sweet, fruity, yeasty flavours with a citrus tang and an ample herbal hoppy finish. Medium carbonation, light in body. Lovely, crisp and refreshing with nice balance.
