Tap at SPH. Hazy golden coloured beer. Sweet aroma of banana, some nice wheaty character in the nose. Not a lot of clove or spice. Seems a bit undercarbonated and sort of lifeless. Flavour is pretty good, medium bodied, banana and apple flavour. Lingering wheaty spice on the back. Malts seem a bit light, but it’s quite refreshing.

Draft at Half Time. Pours somewhat turbid dark straw colored with a medium white head. Aroma of malt, citrus, yeast, cloves. Tastes wheaty, yeasty, with much citrus, banana, and cloveyness at the finish. A very well made German hefe.

Poured a lightly hazy, golden color, with a medium sized, creamy white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of gingerbread, some banana, and faint cloves. Taste of more banana, tart citrus fruits, clove, and a light yeastiness.

Tap @ Blind Tiger. A slightly hazy, golden color with smallish head. Taste is lightly spicy (pepper and coriander), bananas and cloves. Medium bodied and flavorful. Not the typical Hefe. Nice yeasty taste.

Mostly, when I try a new wheat beer, I take a sip, sigh, and say "yup, that’s a wheat beer" - sadly, even though this is a southampton brew, I had the same experience with this one - a well-crafted wheat beer, with all the spicy, lemony, bready characteristics in all the right places is still good to drink, but will never ellicit any excitement from me - it may be going too far to say that anyone can make a good wheat beer, but it certainly seems to be a truism.

Tap at Hop Devil. Lovely pour, super hazy with a nice, bright white head. As cloudy as this was, though, it had little body, making both the aroma and the taste very watery. Some of the right pieces were there, but this really was lacking a distinctive yeast character that hefes should have. Really quite unexciting.
