12 ounce bottle from Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA. No bottling date. Pours a hazy lemon yellow color with a medium head. Decent head retention and fair lacing. Aroma of bread, spice, pineapple and banana. Taste is yeast, pineapple, banana. Medium bodied.

This is a very enjoyable wheat beer, but falls a little short compared to some others I’ve sampled in the past (most notable Sly Fox’s Royal Weisse). The beer pours a hazy and cloudy dark golden color with a big, thick white head. The head leaves a huge amount of lacing around the glass. The nose is full of banana and spices, and the body is very smooth, enjoyable and refreshing. The flavors consist of more banana and spices, along with some citrus and dough notes. The beer finishes on a little bit of a sour note, but it’s still a decent wheat beer that refreshes this time of year.

Hazy gold pour. Gusher... Mild tropical fruit and banana on the nose. Sweet and sour flavor. Something was wrong here

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a 1/2 finger thick off white head. Very light lacing. Aroma is banana, yeast, and wheat malt. Flavor is much of the same. Light to medium body. Has a slight cloying aftertaste. Worth a try.

Mycket snäll i smaken, nästan mesig. Uppfriskande och fruktig, men inte utan en viss komplexitet. En öl som viskar när alla andra skriker. Något tam kanske, men inte utan tanke.

Bottle. Hazy amber with white head. Some citrus but missing the candy banana flavor. Not the best wheat beer but not bad either.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Hazy golden beer. Some nice citrus sting, but not much aroma or body here. All right, but rather boring.

12oz bottle. Murky peach-tan color with a big lasting head. Some mild banana in the aroma. Sweet malty tastes collide with clovy banana. The wheat is certainly present, not unlike a Belgian Wit. Pleasant light acidic aftertaste. A nice surprise from Left Hand, I’d love to drink this fresh in Colorado.
