Supple, malty and mellow. Its harmonious flavour is the great strength of our dark wheat beer.

Bottle - pours a cloudy brown - appears to have some sediment. Very thick tan head. Nose full of clove and spice. Taste of clove however sweetens over time and ends with a lingering maple, brown sugar taste. Very drinkable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

From bottle. Cloudy dirty brown with lots of fizz. Aroma of clove, banana, wheat. Taste is a sweet concoction of banana bread, spice, and apple. Lingering sweet, smooth aftertaste.

OKplus (379) - Oklahoma, USA - MAY 14, 2013
A - Pours a cloudy honey brown. A mounded 2 finger off-white head that sinks very slow creating a thick ceiling and impressive lacing. S - Yeasty banana bread, very doughy. Lots of wheat with notes of clove and bubblegum. T - Follows the nose with moist banana bread, sweet with clove and a thick wheat backbone. Hints of caramel, berries, and slight nuttiness in the middle. Finishes with a bit more grain in the malt M - Silky smooth and creamy. Tight but low carbonation with a light to medium body. The mouthfeel is perfect! Very elegant flavors and seems to have great balance with the flavors. The wheat still shines and the esters seem perfectly placed. This beer will leave you wanting more.

Hazy amber pour with light brown highlights. Nose of banana esters, clove, yeast spice, and faint citrus. Flavor follows suit nicely with banana, yeast spice, and a whisp of caramelized fruit. Light with ample carbonation. Not a ton different from their plain hefe, but different enough to add to the beer. Subtle and well-refined.

Really solid beer that has a nice, well balanced mix of chocolate and wheat flavours. High drinkability, way more refreshing than it might initially appear to be. Very enjoyable and I hope to see it back at the LCBO soon

I love this beer. A nice wheaty chocolate go to. This is a marble cake in a bottle. Full flavored, great aftertaste. Yummy dessert pairing.

Wheat beer by the Belgian people, beautiful color like deep caramel and tastes cold and delicious

Smak och doft av humle, malt, jäst, karamell, knäck, mörkt bröd och toner av banan. Friskt och syrligt. Gott.

Bottle (500 ml). Thanks to czar! Brown with a huge light brown head, good retention and some lacing. Aroma is bready with banana, caramel and spicy notes. Taste is moderately sweet with acidic notes from the wheat, slight caramel, banana and some spices. Light to medium body. A tad watery. Good carbonation. Good balance and drinkability. Nice Dunkelweizen!
