Jun 26, 2009 Yes, I gave it 5/5. It is not my favourite beer I have ever tasted, but it is a perfect example of the style and definitely in my top 10. It has great complexity, with a mouthfeel which rolls over your tongue multiple times exposing the depths of its flavours ranging from citrus to banana and other various flavours. A wonderful beer. Had on tap many times and enjoyed every last ounce.

Jun 15, 2009 Draught at Queen and Beaver. Pours a cloudy vibrant yellow gold with a creamy white head. Banana, spice and cirtus aroma. Nice wheaty flavour with notes of banana, cirtus and spice. Lingering fruity finish; smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Impressive.

May 7, 2009 On draft at Beer Bistro. Hazy deep yellow in colour with strong carbonation. Full on blast of banana, clove, and vanilla in the mouth, with a slightly lemony undertone. This typical German hefeweizen formula of banana, clove and mild lemony citrus is executed perfectly in the mouth, along with some added mineral-like complexity. Full wheaty mouthfeel, yet still quite refreshing. Totally worth the hype.

Apr 23, 2009 Tap at C’est What: Cloudy light dirty beige color weizen with a small foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of dominating wheat malt is very refreshing. Taste is also dominated by loads of wheat with some very subtle notes of cloves. This is missing some banana ester which I usually look for in this style. Body is quite full with good carbonation. I very enjoyed that beer but I can’t say that it is necessarily the best weizen I have ever tasted.

I tried this beer on tap on April 9, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy yellow-gold colour with a 1" thick white head. The aroma was wheat malt, some banana, and some spices. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was wheaty, slightly sweet, with a nice bitter finish. Overall, I was disappointed in this beer. It has a great reputation around Toronto, but I found it to be an average brew at best.

Apr 19, 2009 Tap @ the Black Hoof, with a couple a friends after a competition (Thanks Anna & Cara). Food was awesome, but this was the perfect beer to compliment everything else. Perfectly poured with a white head, and a citrus aroma. Excellent palate - almost silky mouthfeel, but then again I was eating Foie Gras and Iberico. But really, before the food came I I enjoyed the beer on its own so this rating is fair enough. All in all, glad this place carried this beer.

Apr 12, 2009 On tap @ Beer Bistro in Toronto. Pours hazy gold with white head. Aroma of citrus, banana, and coriander. Good flavor, sweet with a lot of fruit and spices. I thought it was a very good beer, I didn’t think it would be rated as high as 4.06 though. Good Hefe though.

Oct 16, 2008 In short: A superior nourishing and refreshing Hefeweizen. Believe the hype
How: Tap at Volo, Toronto
The look: Cloudy dark yellow body topped by a large white head with medium retention
In long: Nose of lemon pie, coriander and orange peels. In mouth the beer feels very full with its big wheat body. Bready, doughy and crisp at the same time. Lemon pie, pancake, cloves, coriander, light acidity and tartness. One of the rare beer that manage to be both very nourishing and very refreshing, two desirable qualities that usually don’t come together, like a small ass and big tits.
