Thanks go out to the Hot and Spicy BeanDip for bringing the Oberon and Porter back from her travels, BeanDip Rocks!

I’m drinking this baby out of my Erdinger Weizen glass…Poured in the sediment to make it a cloudy blustery sunrise of gold and orange, a head of frothy white sea foam blows to shore.
The flavor and aroma suggest a dusty wheat likeness, orange zest, a pinch of cinnamon, bananas, and peach juice. The palate is sublime….smooth and creamy. Bitter fruity banana and orange peel finish….. Quite enjoyable

had this on draft in chi town: this one was poured out a rich orange color haze with bits of a white whimsical head. nose of yeasty mites and citrus blanching. this one reminds me alot of pyramid heffe with a little extra special twist of spice and thickness. a good beer.

Bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours a cloudy yellow with a small, frothy, white head. Aroma is of wheat malt, straw, yeast. The palate is very nice, especially for an American wheat: medium-bodied, oily, lively and smooth. An interesting wheat that is heavily carbonated without being fizzy. Starts slightly sweet and ends with a light hops note. Crisp and clean. Re-rate: After trying this on tap I was amazed at the difference from the bottle I had first sampled/rated. So, I bought another bottle to see if the first had been an anomaly. It wasn’t. For whatever reason, I found this to be a much better beer on tap. Distinctly spicy and citric notes came from the tap version that are no where to be found in the bottle. Very strange. If I could get the same flavors from the bottle-version, I’d stock my fridge with this beer. As it won’t be available on-tap in KC anymore, I have to stick with my original assessment.

The best beer to ever come out of Michigan. The only thing that could make it better ia a promotion to year round status.

Clear light yellow, large white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus. I agree with DrNate. This was a little watery and slightly too bitter. A touch of citrus zing in the flavor. Pretty good.

Thick yellow/orange with a floral nose. Nice honey and dried fruit tones with somewhat of a hoppy finish.t
