can: pours with a soapy white head atop a cloudy hay coloured body. aroma is a spicey almost cardamon, wheat, yeast and just a touch of lemon. nothing to overpowering a good mix. flavour is a light yeasty sweet malt. someunderlying spice and a small lemon zest. just a hint of floralness in the finish.

Cloudy yellow hue, with a white head, leaving laces, yeasty, citrus fruity nose of lemon and grapefruit, with a candy lemon note, a wheaty malt, subtle coriander aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, wheaty, citrus candyish character, with a lemony lolipop flavor, a faint coriander spiciness, leading towards a fruity, subtle acidic citrusy finish.

Best beer I ever had from a can. Thin but nice banana and citrus. A tiny touch of yeast. None of the esters that make some wits unpleasant

Bottle. Cloudy orange and yellow with a white foam. Aromas are sweet caramel and wheat. Soft spices with floral notes and some honey sweetness. Flavours are wheat and caramel malts with soft citrus. Yeasty with hints of sweet chocolate. Sweet on the finish.

Leaning towards the biscuity, mealy side of wheatiness. Lemon and barley upfront, developing some cardboard. Milky sweet aftertaste like draining a bowl of breakfast cereal. Not much in the way of spice or sourness. Reminds me of CK Browar Weiss. Pleasant-tasting and unsynthetic, but missing a certain something..

Bottle 0.33 l. Cloudy pale yellow, small head. Doughy and yeasty nose with some citrus. Flavor is light, slightly citric with yeast and surprisingly nice unfilltered aftertaste of hops and yeast, often found only in fresh beers. Nice and easy, but with good flavor.

Pale cloudy yellow. Sediment on bottom. White lingering head. Light and citrussy taste. Very, very drinkable but not a lot of substance to taste. I just picked up a single bottle and didn’t notice the 6 pack price. But if it’s reasonably priced, I would buy again. A Chevy compared to the Hoogarden Lexus.

bottle. pours cloudy yellow, white. lots of yeast chunks floating around. the mouth of the bottle was a bit caked as well. i’m a fan of yeasty beers but this was a little overboard on the sediment. light wheat and citrus aroma. flavor was gritty wheat, somewhat of a cardboard taste as well. some lemony element. in general just a very plain wheat flavor. no spices or fruity yeast.
