DrBayern (977), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Apr 24, 2008 12 oz. bottle on 4/22//2008. Practically clear, with only the faintest haze, and a rather spare white head. Aroma is understated citrus and light grain. Light body, lively effervescence, clean palate. Lemony flavor over some light honey, little acidity, ends in an abbreviated, dry finish. I totally agree with this being classified as a wheat ale as opposed to a hefeweizen as it is named. It simply does not have the characteristics of a hefe. A refreshing, but boring, offering.
blipp (818), Grand Island, New York, USA Sep 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours gold with a fizzy white head. The aroma has lemon and wheat. Light malty flavor with some citrus. Not bad. oh6gdx (6334), Vaasa, Finland Sep 30, 2008 Bottled@SBWF2008. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, mild hops and some yeast. Flavour is wheat, hops and some mild saltwatery notes. Not very interesting. BelgianBeerGal (978), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sep 22, 2008 Draught in Boston. Rather average wheat ale with no real highs or lows. Flavour and aroma dominated by banana esters. No real character. Joakgust (90), Stockholm, Sweden Sep 21, 2008 Bottle SB&WF-08 - Unclear yellow colored beer with a small frothy head. Aroma is wheaty with strong notes of citrus, which also goes for the flavor. Rather thin but easy to drink. Don’t know if I like the whole concept of this type of beer. It needs more fruits or spices like the European Hefes or Wits. KimJohansen (4294), Copenhagen V, Denmark Sep 20, 2008 Hazy golden with tiny white head. Sweet yea ty aroma with wheat and fruity notes. Sweet yeasty flavour with with notes of wheat and banana.
