Pours a cloudy gold. White head, not much aroma. That being said there wasn’t that much to this beer. It is a plain wheat, refreshing but nothing impressive.

In short: A problematic stale wheat ale. Some qualities but a disturbing moist sensation.
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Ugly cloudy yellow orangey body topped by a very small white head
In long: Nose is wet wheat, barn, musty, sports locker-room. Some of these elements are acceptable in a funky beer but here it just smells stale and mouldy. Very light on taste, which given the nose is not a bad news. Bananas but more like banana juice than fresh bananas. Some orange juice too. Feels a bit doughy/fluffy. Almost no tartness or anything that would help making it more drinkable. Not refreshing, gross if you drink it too quickly although not even very tasty. Drinking that all day would make for a very long day, fortunately you’ve got the longest day of the year to do that

Good-looking, cloudy golden pour covered by a lasting white film that kinda sticks. Banana and wheat puree aroma. Wheat grains and pie crust notes. Very limited acidity. Again, aiming at basic refreshment. Simple flavours, not much yeastiness at all, but nice light-medium body with a very active and bubbly carbonation.

Draft at the brewpub. Some citrus aroma in this one; flavor was mostly wheat, a little funky. Not bad overall.

On tap at the brewpub; aroma was very soft with bread, wheat and yeast. Flavor was much of the same, but with a citrus and hop presence. Crisp finish. Pretty good.
