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.

Bottle from the LCBO. While a great weissbier, it lags behind Denison’s, which I hold as the ideal to achieve. Good amount of lacing with a golden pour. Touch of sugar hidden beneath the primary flavours of banana, cloves and coriander. Clean finish, and a very enjoyable beer. Weissbiers are one of the few lighter beers I enjoy drinking, and this is definitely one of the top I have had the chance to drink.

Bottle at LCBO - Top rated (essentially) Hefeweizen? Eh, I suppose so, I’m more into witbiers though. Anyways, it pours nice into a nearly opaque, dark yellow/orange with a head that’s nothing special. The nose and taste is VERY similar to Pauliner, so the wheat, citrus, and do I sense some banana? Either way it’s a very nice wheat beer experience with a nice aftertaste, only problem I have with it is that it angers my stomache a little bit, but that’s just me.

From a bottle poured a hazy golden color with a fair amount head. Nice malt citrus flavor with a quick finish.

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.
