Disney World Wowzers Wheat-on tap-pours a creamy white head and hazy pale yellow color. Aroma is backed up drain/raw wheat?, clove. Taste is clove/ backed up drain/raw wheat/herbal, lemon, pepper. High effervescence.

On tap at Hamilton Place. The body was hazy dark gold with a white head. The aroma was light with the clove and bananas. There was also some bread crust. The taste was banana peels with some peach skins. Very little spice and a weird bologna finish.

on tap. Wow, I was not excited to order this one, given my disdain for American wheat beers. The bartender wasn’t sure which style this was. Upon receiving my weizen glass and taking a whiff, I was relieved. Very strong esters are evident in the nose with assertive Euro hops. Clove, banana, wood, bread are all evident here. This is thirst quenching and juicy, yet not too light by any means. I was actually surprised at how evident the hop character was. Wooden tones are apparent throughout the flavor, giving a pleasant acidic edge to the juicy banana and clove thing. This was surprisingly well executed. This beer is most obviously a German styled hefeweizen. . .kind of reminds me of Victory Sunrise.

Draft. Cloudy gold with a white head. Hop aroma with banana and clove notes. Great for the summer heat.

Draft... Disney Boardwalk Location... Clear, pale, straw-colored ale with a small, creamy, white head. Typical hefe aroma, but a bit subdued... plenty of banana and light clove. Decent flavor with crisp hop bitterness and spicy phenols. Light to medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Crisp, lightly sweet finish.

Pours a slightly hazy yellow color with a white head. Aroma is wheaty, clove, and some banana. Flavor is wheaty, lots of cloves, and some banana.

On tap at the Disney World Boark Walk location. Poured a medium and cloudy golden color. Aromas and tastes of wheat, cloves, citrus and bananas. Props to the bar tender to ask if I wanted a slice of lemon or not. It was in the upper 80s and this went down nicely...
