Probably not the best time to be trying this, with the weather turning cold and winter just around the corner, but I couldn’t be buggered waiting for summer to try this one. Looked good, with a big fluffy white head and a typical cloudy golden yellow body. Strong on the banana, light on the cloves, but typical hefeweizen aroma. A bit dusty as well, which detracts somewhat. Nice, fairly well balanced flavour that seems to need a bit more warming than typical wheat beers to achieve maximum satisfiability (cool word - just made it up). First half of the bottle was a bit of a struggle, but the second half slid down well indeed. I think I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for hefeweizens...

Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. One of his favorites so I may have weighted this a bit. Wheat ales don’t do much for me. This one is mild but aight. Comparable to Bell’s Oberon I guess.

Oct 28, 2008 Botte as shown. Pours a hazy pale golden color with a medium frothy white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a strong clove and banana wheat. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is very sweet at first with a lot of citrus and lemon. A decent hefe from Baltika.

Oct 13, 2008 Tangy wheat aroma. Cloudy pale golden color with a medium white head. Light wheat and very mild bitterness in the beginning. Fading in the finish and getting slightly sweeter.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle (Marked bottled 07.07.07 & Best By 07.04.08). Poured a hazy yellow with a very fizzy white head that disappeared in seconds. Initial aroma of vegetables but then goes to clove, wheat and light lemon as it warms. The flavor had sweet caramel malt and wheat. Light to medium body, fizzy carbonation, dry finish.
