Commercial Description:
The source of its pearling, effervescent taste is the secret fermentation process which we have developed especially for our crystal wheat beer. It quenches your thirst like no other beer. With its elegant appearance, it is the speciality of our brewery. Goes well with fish, seafood and light dishes.

A great beer for summer, lots of carbonation, takes a minute to settle, nice warming spiciness to it. Abit of sweetness to it, very easy drinking! nice brew!

From 500mL. Pours a crystal clear dark yellow with tight foamy white head. Nose is banana, lemon and light wheat. Flavor follows with a crisp finish. A very enjoyable and drinkable beer.

500ml. Pours bright gold with sparkling carb, and a big frothy bright-white head. Sweet and sour nose--grassy, and apple-tart/acidic. Nice mild grass and spice palate leavened with a bit of cleansing tart. Great, clean, drinkable stuff. Seems quite subdued compared to what we think of in wheat beers out here, but I suppose that’s just that Continental refinement showing.

Bottle (500ml). Very pale yellow, champagne-bubbly, huge foamy lasting white head - it’s a summer day and that looks like fun to drink right now. Smells a lot like a mild belgian wit - banana, candy malt, yeast and soft mild spices in plentiful supply. Wonderful light fruity taste, spicy, much softer and milder than a wit - incredible summer session drink. Light of body, soft, sweet mouthfeel, very light carbonation, light on the palate and quick finishing - very, very pleasant.

16.9 oz bottle. Clear pale yellow with a big, white foamy head. Green tints. Sweet wheat, lemon pepper and pumpkin pie. Classic. Predominantly banana with sourdough bread. Tight, tangy carb provides a nice zip and lightens the medium body. Good, but I prefer the regular.

Big pillowy head. Clear golden color. Light wheat flavor with slight hints of banana with wheat/straw like aroma. Slighty sweet with a slight sharpness. Smooth finish and mouthfeel. Fizzy on the carbonation. Overall very good. Light and refreshing.

Clear straw with big fluffy head. Laces Aroma wheat and very spicy (lots of cloves) and a bit of banana. Flavor is zesty clove with some sweetness behind it.

Sparkling clear body w. loads of visibible carbonation. Big fluffy white head. Nose is wheaty & yeasty, some noticable sweet malt, oranges & clove. Flavor is light clove, yeast, lemon, orange, wheat, light toasted malt. A bit sweeter than I expected.
