Denisons Weissbier

Brewed by Denison’s Brewing Company
Style: German Hefeweizen
Toronto, Canada

An yellow on the side of amber (copper-gold), cloudy with some head that leaves a lace and clings the glass all the way down very nicely. Smells of grass, banana and some citrus. Very nice. Has a creamy and heavy mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Not stout heavy, just right. Tastes of spice (cloves) and banana, has a slight bitter finish with a spice aftertaste that lingers. All in all, a favourite.

On tap at the Winking Judge. Quite a fantastic beer. smells fruity and citrusy, tastes pretty much the same. Very cloudy and pale. Very Good

thought it more of a banana smoothie with a carbonation/yeast, like a yogurt kafir beverage. Nice appearance though.

Re-rate. Not much else needs to be said. My original score was a little low (low 3’s) only because I rated it from a keg at a private party and the serving conditions were far from ideal. I’ve certainly changed in my appreciation of different styles in the past 2 years as well. I love the Banana in the aroma, the full bodied chewiness, the perfect appearance when served right (I usually get mine at Volo) - this is wonderful stuff and the brewer is a fantastic person to chat with. A must have if you’re visiting Toronto and a regular item for those of us who live here.

On tap - BeerBistro Toronto. Lemony/peppery aroma with a hazy yellow/orange colour. Tastes good and wheaty but I find this type of wheat beer too heavy.

On tap at Smokeless Joes - Toronto. A great beer. Beautifully cloudy, citrussy scent and a strong, distinctive and clean taste. The aftertaste is mild. A toast to everyone involved in making this beer.

Pours a light hazy yellow color, moderate white head. Aroma of banana, clove, wheat, and some yeast. Mouthfeel is incredibly soft, very smooth. Typical weizen flavors, but they come across so nicely from the palate. Quite enjoyable.

Pours straw with a big white head. Sweet grassy, wheat and cereal aroma. Banana, caramel, pepper, grass and citrus are blended well into a lovely refreshing beer. It's very well balanced throughout, to the very nice dry finish. Great Hefeweizen.
