Not crazy about this German Hefeweizen. Tart, sour, and bitter flavor. Finishes crisp and sweet.

Very cloudy golden colour with no head at all. Strong yeast/lemon aroma. Light to Medium-bodied; Very pleasant lemon/yeast taste! Aftertaste is very acidic, lemony and yeasty. Overall, very pleasant...a great beer - definately better than average for the style. I had this pint on draught at Union Jack's in Knoxville, Tennessee on 26-September-2003 with Suttree and Haddon90, thanks guys!

Poured a clear yellow color. Strong wheat aroma. Kind of a sour taste. The lemon saved it. Not very impressive. Had on tap at Union Jack's English Pub in Knoxville, TN.

Yeasty aroma and hazy appearance very typical of style. However, the flavor is weak, and there is an awful sour taste at the end. I don't want to say that there is infection, but it certainly is possible.

Floral citrus and lemon aromas combined with a cloudy bright yellow color made this appealing for a warm day. The flavor wasn't as appealing though-there wasn't enough of it and at first sip, seemed to be too sour with what tasted like dirt-which I'm guessing was yeast-that detracted substantially. The dirt/yeast flavor went away soon enough, but there wasn't any other perceptible flavor that took its place.

Cloudy and a bit whiter than expected, especially after smelling it. The clove and banana richness expected was there in force. There was some sourness at the start that came back in the almost-cloying aftertaste. Overall a nice weisse, but a bit sour in spots.
