Swing top bottle, LCBO Canada, Summer Release 2008. Looks the part, hazy dark yellow, big bubbly white head, Dry wheat aroma, very mild but it disappears in a hurry. Mouthfeel is great - soft, perfectly carbonated. Taste though is again mild - citrusy tang, a little yeasty, and mild banana notes in finish. Certainly refreshing and quenching but not exactly full of flavour. Not bad though.

Nov 20, 2008 (Draught at het Amsterdamertje, Göteborg, Sweden) Shady orange color, small white head. Belgian, spicy, fruity scent. Sweet, fresh, sugary, yeasty taste. Medium to spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Nov 20, 2008 <i>Draught at het Amsterdamertje, Göteborg, Sweden, thanks gnoff for the sips</i>. Cloudy golden, medium white head. Fruity and bready with some caramelly and banana notes. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation. Well balanced with a dry finish.

Nov 19, 2008 Courtesy of Fonefan. It’s unclear golden with a huge head. The aroma has notes of banana, clove and wheat. The flavour has sweetness, notes of banana, light clove and its a bit subdued, but also uncomplicated.

Oct 21, 2008 Hazy gold with a large white head. Leathery, musty yeast aroma. Thin, slightly sour taste with soap and some sweetness. The merest hint of wheatiness. Quite a good quencher, though it’s a pale shadow of beers like the Franziskaner.

Oct 16, 2008 Poured a nice hazy cloud of murky gold in the glass with a heavenly banana pudding aroma drifting forth. Alas, the taste was not as promising as the smell made me belive...watery, thin-bodied and not too inspired. Not undrinkable by any means but I need a lot more spice in my brew.
