Unfiltered and unfettered, Circus Boy is a unique and refreshing American-style Hefeweizen. Is he a who? Or a what? Or perhaps some of both? Be amazed by the flavorful haze of this wonderful wheat beer.

From a mixed 12 pack.

Pours a cloudy golden color. The pillowy white head dissipates to nothing quite quickly.

Smell is muted initially but later is full of lemon zest and light yeast.

The taste is slightly sweet with lemon and yeast notes being present. Its actually pretty decent.

The mouthfeel is medium light with light carbonation.

Drinkability is decent. The beer is light enough that it should be sessionable.

Overall a decent beer.

12 ounce bottle poured into a tulip glass.

L---Hazy, golden color. Medium white cap that faded quickly to a ring. Minimal lacing.

S---Very, very light smell, overall. I mean, like practically nothing at all. Just some faint, vague sweetness.

T---There's a lot more going on with the taste than in the nose. A little bit of banana, lemon & lemongrass.

F---A little astringent with some noticeable drying of the mouth. Good carbonation.

O---Not a very good hefe. It's missing the classic notes of banana & clove. More just vaguely sweet, than any strong flavors or scents. Would not get this one again.

An interesting wheat beer, it's a hazy light orange with slight banana flavor, not bad at all. Cheers! B-

Is it a hefeweizen? Or a pale wheat ale? I don't know and apparently neither does the brewer. It's not bad but is a bit watery. Slightly cloudy with some wheat aroma and flavor and none of the banana/clove/bubblegum esters I was expecting.
