Commercial Description:
Brewed at Black Oak Brewery by the original Denison's brewmaster. Using a traditional special yeast, resulting in beer bursting with flavour that may surprise you, reminiscent of bananas, cloves and lemons. Served unfiltered with its natural yeast and proteins. Was brewed at Denison's on Victoria Street (as Denison's Weizen) until early 2003. Denison's has its own site up: http://www.denisons.ca

On tap at Castle on King. Orangey-yellow, quite cloudy. Appearance reminded me of pineapple juice. Small head. Strong aroma of slightly overripe bananas (it also reminds me a bit of a dental dam -- but perhaps I’ve encountered an exquisitely aromatic dental dam at some point during my youth.) Some clove is also present. The beer rolls through the mouth in a manner that is somehow notable. Orange peel is prevalent. I’m reminded of wild rice at the end of each sip. Sweet and loads of citrus. Banana also joins the flavour as it warms. Medium bodied. Leaves a faint, sodium-like aftertaste. "Bombastic" comes to mind. Bombastic and delicious.

On tap - Beer Bistro: Perhaps it was the candle light, but this was a beautiful, glowing yellow-orange body, simply superb looking, a pure frothy white head. Nose of yeast and wheat, some banana in there too. A delightful wheat flavour, fruit (bananas, papaya) and yeast, just lovely. This summer will be awesome, sitting on a patio or in a beergarden (or on a certain ratebeerians balcony) supping a Denisons Weissbier.

Had this one on tap at Volo. Poured slightly cloudy yellow color with a slight orangness to it. Aroma was spicy and citrusy. Mostly a lemon aroma in this one. This was real easy to drink and one of the best wheat beers ive had.

Pint at Volo Beautiful rocky head with a gorgeous murky lemon colour. Smells of citrus, coriander and minor notes of cloves. It is a bit dryer and less sweet then I had expected, but does taste of cereal and bananas. It has a very nice spicy lemon finish.

Had this on tap at the 2008 Pepperwood Bistro beer festival. The banana definitely finishes strong with hints of citrus and is very smooth. I wish this was more widely available.
