Pale golden hay color, smeared body with a huge starchy topping of whitish crunchy tight foam. Resides down slowly to a firm and fluffy skim and minimal lacinf is specked about the glass.
Aroma is lightly doughy and semi sweet with a light tug of toasted grain and some dark grasses.
Taste is mild but fulfilling with a nice malt tone of sweet doughy breadyness, a bit pear and peachy in some ascents and a mear nudge of toasted grains. The thing about it is that its impression is gone to quick, it definately could use more length and a bit more complexity and girth.
Clean, crisp in a malty sense of sweetness and lofty toned in smoothness. A bit of carbonation grab is a bit out of place but not overpowering. The body is shy of medium and again seems to come up a tad short in body, girth, and length. Otherwise its stays malty doughty sweet the whole way through.
A decent enough O-fest, but seems a bit underwhelming in most aspects of its character. That said, it would be fairly easy to down a bunch of these.

Jul 8, 2008 50 cL bottle as Oktoberfest Weissbier. Pours hazy golden orange with a huge and creamy off-white head. Aroma is of wheat and somewhat malty. Creamy texture. Flavour is wheaty with a decent caramel malt base. Dry wheaty notes but not really with esters as such as the caramel/biscuit malt seems to take that out. Medium dry finish.

Jul 7, 2008 Dark golden color with a pillowy white head, typical looking for a hefe. Smell is grainy, sweet, and I even get a little bit of lemon. Taste immediately gives you a sweet caramel flavor, some clove, and earthy hops. Mouthfeel is full, with higher than medium carbonation. Very drinkable beer for me, I liked this a little more than expected, I wish I picked up more.

Jul 3, 2008 Aroma is of watermelon which would be the yeast coming through, also some malt in the aroma. Mouthfeel is quite malty. A very enjoyable beer. Would happily purchase again.
