Bottle from Tanakaya in Tokyo. Bummed me out a bit - refreshing and light, to be sure, and there’s a hint of lemon zest and wheatiness, but the oomph of a hefe is not to be found here. For one, this beer’s too bitter to be a hefe (thus the style’s different). My problem with it is that the body is too thin - it’s almost watery, which is odd for a Baird beer.

May 26, 2008 Bottled. Cloudy dark yellow, minimal head. Neutral aroma. Sweet and fruity, medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Quite neutral with chewy crystal wheat xharacter but no esters. Well made, but a bit pointless.

May 16, 2008 Bottle. Hazy pale orange in color with no head. Malty hoppy fruity aroma. Banana and clove notes. Spicy malty flavor. Citrusy notes. Medium bodied. Finish is fruity. Drinkable.

May 15, 2008 Bottle, thanks to eyedrinkale for sharing. Dark yellowish pour, some white film. Aroma is some german malt, spiced banana and light citrus. All on the weak side though, and the flavor is the same, but maybe a little past its prime.

May 14, 2008 Nice mention of Ichiro in the description but the flavor is as low as his RBI production. The wheat is as close to corn thais palatable. This isnt a bad beer by any means. As I drink it more, I get some honey.

May 14, 2008 Bottle shared by EDA. Aroma is skunked, some mint, licorice. Gets nicer as it warms. Light hops in the flavor, mild wheatiness, more skunk. Pretty unexciting, with very unenthusiastic flavors. Doesn’t do it for me.
