Bottle from Ughsmash, thanks! Light orange color, cloudy. Flowery hoparomawith clove and tangerine. Firm hopbitter flowery and oily fklavor that oddly enough coincides well with the mandarine curacao, vanilla and banana flavors of the weizen. Slightly alcoholic vanilla pudding aftertaste.

Pours a hazy orange bronze with a nicely-lacing froth of white head. Floral aroma of fresh citrusy lemony hops with some ground black pepper and clove spice. Body starts fairly full and lightly sweet with a big citric hop character and some bready German yeasty notes before a slightly drier peppery clove finish with some mild warmth. A pretty nicely done brew buit not as good as their other German wheats simply because I don’t care as much for the intense lemony hop presence.

12oz bottle acquired in a couple of trrades. Poured a deeper and cloudy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of bananas, cloves, and citrus. Tastes of bananas, light bubble gum, cloves, and citrus. Some alcohol in the finish.
