Denisons Weissbier

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

Draught at BarVolo. Pours a hazy yellow with an average size creamy white head. Aroma and flavour, to me, are primarily banana as most wheat beers are. Also wheat, sweet malt, clove, citrus and other fruit. Taste is too watery but it’s still very smooth and enjoyable. I don’t care for most wheat beers but I often get this one and will again. Denison’s rarely dissapoints.

On tap at BeerBistro in Toronto. Canary yellow with a big poofy white head. There’s way more lemon flavors than banana. Has an odd burnt rubber latex aroma.

Great wheat aroma. Cloudy golden colour. First taste is fabulous, wheat, malt, spices, and bananas. Last drop is still fabulous. Wonderful tongue tingle, extra smooth. Excellent.

In short: A superior nourishing and refreshing Hefeweizen. Believe the hype
How: Tap at Volo, Toronto
The look: Cloudy dark yellow body topped by a large white head with medium retention
In long: Nose of lemon pie, coriander and orange peels. In mouth the beer feels very full with its big wheat body. Bready, doughy and crisp at the same time. Lemon pie, pancake, cloves, coriander, light acidity and tartness. One of the rare beer that manage to be both very nourishing and very refreshing, two desirable qualities that usually don’t come together, like a small ass and big tits.

Finally got to try this. Hazy orange-melon color with uneven bright white head. Not served in proper glass @ Cest What but still looks nice. Yeasty, sweet aroma. Lots of banana, orange, custard with nutmeg. Brilliantly soft mouthfeel. Creamy, silky. Fruity entry with melon and peach. Yeast stickinesss at end just enough, and ends up seeming dry and light. Lovely, admirable weissbier.

Nice yeasty and slightly peppery aroma. Moderately hazy. Tart, tangy, nice hop balance. Good stuff. A medium long wheat bitter finish. Medium light body with a doughiness in the end.

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.

[004-20060825] Tap @ Volo. Smells like grapefruit peel sitting in a wheat field. Yellow-golden, cloudy, has a tall, lasting head. Notably exotic spice, astringent qualities. Light-medium body, fizzy, complicated but comes together. A great summer beer!
