Denisons Weissbier

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

Ratebeer Fest 2003: Poured a cloudy dark yellow with dissipating white head. Light banana notes and seems a bit thin in the finish. Doesn't match up to New Glarus' Solstice. No comparison.

Pint @ Volo Toronto, . The best Hefe I’ve had to date. Very flavorful, bananas,cloves little citrus among other spices. Great body & absolutely delicious hefe

Heavenly banana bread, clovey concoction that may have lost a little life in it's journey by growler (in the ever-so-caring hands of Oakes). The second time it was popped open, a little less life leaped out. Still a fat wheat beer worthy of all the praise.

On tap at the Cool Beer Co. Brewery. Aroma is a cold lemon peel, lemoncello, and alcohol. Pours a very cloudly, darker than expected golden, with a minimal white head. Flavor is light and sweet. Good, strong lemon characters, over a thick, chewy wheatiness. A long finish in fun hops, spiciness, and creamed malt character. Delicious. I think this is solid, but not mind-blowing. The yeast characters are great. The wheat good, the hops nice, the beer refreshing, but it doesn’t break any Hefe barriers. It’s just a damn good, solid example. On further thought, the most astounding feature of this beer is its finish. It just goes on and on in rich lemon, wheat, and spice complexity. There’s just a depth of finish flavor that I don’t get with other Hefes.

On draft at Volo, at the recommendation of hogtownharry. Arrived a cloudy, golden color with a creamy and long lasting white head that left thick lace. Aroma is nice, wheaty, citrus with a bit of sour apple, yeast, light spice and floral notes. Flavor aligns well with the aroma, wheat and lemon, fruity yeasts, more spice and a subtle floral hoppiness. Smooth, medium body and creamy carbonation. Quite a treat!

Outstanding. Such attention to quality. A great brewery tour of a fine facility. German authenticity in every corner of the room, in every personage. Aroma is so far beyond bubblegum and banana. Mild flavors meld beautifully in the mouth, clove not particularly pronounced, long finish but not sharp. An excellent beer.

Tap @ Volo. Cloudy yellow/orange. White champagne head. Nose is bananna, lemon, yeast, spicy, some breadiness. Flavor is bananna, clove, yeast, fruitiness. Yeasty/bready finish that sticks around. Nice!

Had the opportunity to try this one on tap when I was in TO. A beaty weissbier. Nice murky yellow body with big lasting whitehead. Flavours of wheat and banana. Has almost a creamy taste. A nice finish.
