Pint sized bottle poured into an imperial pint.

(A)- Pours a cloudy goldenrod to pale yellow color. Massive 3+finger white head formed and is simply not dissipating! Very thick foam present. Minimal lacing down the glass.

(S)- Lemony biscuits with delicate banannas. Ample clay and yeast presence. Good clove nuances.

(T)- Delicious and crisp bananna/lemon fruits. Silky bread/biscuits and clove. Just ever so slightly sweet.

(M)- Absolutely positively as silky smooth as a beer can get! This does down so easily. Perfect carbonation level. Delicate, smooth, crisp, makes you want to take another sip. Balanced to perfection.

(D)- The perfect Hefeweizen in my opinion. Smooth, crisp, and perfectly balanced. Nothing fancy at all, but just perfectly made and with everything in the right place. Its as easy drinking as drinking water (almost). Superb fruits and mouthfeel. This is THE summer beer to consume!

Poured a nice Light golden color with a white creamy head. One whif and there was no question about this being a European beer and isolating to a German style. The aroma is always there, not hoppy, not malty, not full of yeast, but a pleasant combination of them all.
Knowing this was a wheat beer, I anticipated besides the cloudiness, all the spices that you normally find in wheat beer, the orange, coriander, etc.
Not with this one, oh, I knew it was a wheat beer, so refreshing, but the spices were down played. Instead the concentration was on the beer itself.
Not one piece, but a sum of its parts.

A: pours hazy golden hue with 2 finger white head that has great retention. It also has some really good lacing

S: smells spot on for a great hefe. Really nice lemon zest and their yeast is not shy on the banana clove.

T: the wheat dominate the front half of the beer and the lemony banana clove follows suit. I'm also getting hints of spice but its difficult to distinguish exactly what.

M: very refreshing. light and some good carbonation. What you would expect from a hefe.

O: light feel and a delicious crisp refreshing taste. Perfect beer for summer and at this price point, I think I found my fall back for the summer.
