Commercial Description:
Medium hopped with malt and wheat character, a smooth fruity balance and soft creamy head. Mild fruity esters and a soft wheat flavor are the major characteristics of this beer. It is light and crisp with just enough hops to balance and round out the sweetness of the malt and wheat.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a slightly hazy light copper amber with a fairly apathetic little off-white head. Big sour wheat nose with plenty of banana yeast esters and clove notes as well. Homebrew tried it and pointed out that too many american brewers refuse to believe that hefeweizen yeasts can work well at 62-64F, so they leave them out at 74-76 and they go bonkers, leaving behind way too many esters in the process. Interesting point. The body’s creamy and medium, plenty more of the banana and clove plus sour yeast on the mid-palate. It’s a clean enough little beer but they probably need to rethink the philosophy behind their fermentation.

[1093-20080216] Tap @ Pike brewpub (Seattle, WA). Yeasty bread aroma with a hint of sweet spice. Clear, orange light red body with a quick foamy white head. More yeasty bread in the flavour with a bit of sweet alcohol. Light medium body. Nice, uneventful.

Though listed as a german wheat, this beer has a nice refreshing American wheat and flavor with a a sour apple finish.

Sample at the brewpub. Served with a lemon. This beer is a clear dark yellow color color with a medium and fluffy white head that recedes slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat and citrus, plus some mild yeast. Medium, clean body with flavors of citrus, wheat and malt along with a touch of yeast. The finish is short and fruity with a touch of wheat in the aftertaste. Just average overall.

The flavor of this beer is great, making it stand out from other wheat beers. This is a nice, refreshing beer for summer.

More of a Berlin style as opposed to a Munich style wheat. Clear gold color, and thin white head. Lighter tan most wheats, with an almost delicate wheat palate. Nice mild hop profile and citrus finish.

Draught sample. Has more of an American wheat profile. Good wheaty aroma with bit of yeasty tang and mild citrus. Hazy amber with thin lacing head. Medium-light body with heavy carbonation. Starts with tangy wheat, mild citrus notes and dusty grain. Decent. Light hoppy finish, kind of dry, with dry acidic after.
