Poured into an Ommegang tulip...about 55 degrees..

Pours a hazy orange..thin fast dissapearing head..some lacing..looks ok..

Smell is lemon,grass,clove. really citrus nose..not bad

Taste is a bit one dementional...lemon..wheat..there really is not much else that stands out to my mediocre pallet..but I have tried many examples of this style...lacking, but not unpleasant

This beer seems to be a bit low on carbonation and the lemon character adds at touch of acidity..it is crisp, though, which is nice..

Overall for this style it is good, but I could not take more than one or two these in a sitting..but I would drink it again...

12 ounce bottle into weizen glass, bottled on 7/23/2012. Pours very hazy golden amber color with a small 1 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings to the glass, with a small amount of carbonation streaming up. Aromas of big banana, clove, lemon zest, pepper, wheat, bubblegum, and yeast spiciness. Very nice aromas with good strength and balance. Taste of banana, clove, pepper, lemon zest, floral, wheat, bready grain, light bubblegum, and yeast spices. Light yeasty tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of banana, clove, lemon zest, wheat, bread, pepper, earth, and yeast spices on the finish for a bit. Very nice amount of flavor for 5% without feeling watery at all. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with pretty much no warming noticed on the finish. Overall this is a damn nice Hefeweizen. Great balance of flavors without feeling watery; and extremely easy to drink. I really have no complaints, very well done.
