Bottle, 6 pack, LCBO. Man, a world class Hefe at the LCBO and I never knew...cool. Anyway - pours a beautiful hazy medium yellow with a huge frothy white head with great lacing and lots of active streaming bubbles - perfect. Very nice yeasty, dry, some citrus, lemon, hint of banana aroma. Taste - bang on style again - full flavoured, full bodied yet very refreshing, drinkable, and perfectly carbonated. Tangy citrus, yeast, lemon in taste - maybe just a little more here would get it perfect marks if I was being extremely picky and is finished a little short for me. But really, this is as good as a Hefe as you are likely to find from the bottle - I’d put it second only to Dennison’s on tap here in Toronto. A nice discovery.

Oct 7, 2008 Thanks to ghawener. Pours a light yellow color with a fast disappearing white head. Light bodied, sweet, some fruit but also a little bit of spices. Very drinkable and refreshing.

Sep 23, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Fairly light on the aroma, i get buttery popcorn, some yeast, and a spicy sort of citrus, but not as much banana as others seem to think. Good standard hefe appearance with a good frothy pour, super cloudy look, and golden tangerine orange in color. Very smooth tasting, with nice medium feel, organic spices and mild citrus fruit with dough, a mostly citrus lemon cookie ending and linger. Pretty good overall as a beer in general with a few unique qualities here and there (which is nice), otherwise just a solid example of a german wheat beer.
