| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 31, 2009 Dégusté avec Viak, Mario D’Eer, Philippe wouters et Alain Geffroy après avoir enfûté la bière nous même à 16h30 jeudi le 28 mai 2009. Dégusté dans un petit verre de dégustation après un service gratuit dans un pichet commun. Difficile de pouvoir donner une note juste car le plaisir et l’expérience de la discussion était très agréable. Une autre évaluation sera faite de ma part lors d’une prochaine visite. Par contre, nous avons trouver un goût de banane, mangue et d’avocat. Je me répète à défaut de mal évaluer cette bière, je préfère divulguer l’expérience vécu du moment dans un endroit des plus charmant. De plus, l’évaluer après une péché mortel ne me semble pas juste......Ce n’est qu’une partie remise!

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 23, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Pours a hazy yellow with a small semi-lasting creamy white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast and grain along with hints of banana, spices and sourness. Flavour’s better, it’s a bit watery but flavourful: Wheat along with light banana, other fruit and mild spices. Average bodied. Pretty good. MartinT (5075), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 28, 2009 My Bottom Line:
This Weizen’s loose and timid flavor profile offers some yeasty dialogue amidst the important cereal presence, but the overall result pales in comparison to the great Bavarian examples.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam surrounds the cloudy blond.
-This does not have your typical Bavarian Weizen nose; the banana esters and bubblegummy phenols tend to get lost in the grainy cereals.
-The flavors are not as cohesive as they could be.
-The mouthfeel is not as full and soft as I would like.
-I must admit I had had a superb Weihenstephaner the day before, so I might be harsher than usual here because this Bouillon just couldn’t stand up to the test. Weihenstephaner is simply perfect, so...

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 19, 2009 2009-11-17. Lightly hazy dark yellow with a small white head. 3+ Pleasant estery aroma, fruit, banana, light yeast and ephemeral not-quite-clove character. Flavour is likewise, fruity esters, wheat, slightly sharp bitterness in the finish, light alcohol presence. 7+ Smooth average plus palate. 3+ Enjoyable, simple.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Draught. At the brewpub. Hazy pale yellow with a small white head. Dry, slightly burnt aroma of cut grass and banana. The taste follows, with lemon added and much less banana ester - not too sweet. Somewhat light-bodied, slightly astringent (which is weird for this style), with a lightning-fast finish - a bit dry, but otherwise a decent, refreshing take on the style, it would be easy to drink in quantity.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 22, 2009 On tap at the pub. Superb cloudy golden body with a thin white foamy/creamy head. Good, well balanced malty/hoppy aroma with yeasty and banana hints. Fresh malty/hoppy taste that ends with a short bittersweet finish. Average Hefeweizen. cfrancis (363), Gloucester, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 18, 2009 At the brewpub - Awesome version of a German Hefe. Cloudy yellow colour with an aroma of banana, spice and wheat. Taste is wheat, spice and yeast. Just wish I was drinking this on the patio during a hot day. MrManning (1661), London, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 18, 2009 A bright yellow pour that is quite hazy, with a frothy white foam. Nose is a lot of banana, a bit of spice and floral notes, pear, some yeast. But it is really strong in the banana category. FLavour is sweet banana and bubblegum, some yeast and oranges with a bit of pear. Nice and creamy mouth feel, perhaps a bit too sweet but still quite good.
