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.

Bottle. Pours a brillian straw color with a fluffy white head that stays until the end with generous lacing. Huge smell of bananas with a clove undertone. Maybe a hint of vanilla. Tastes similar to the regular weissbier but, cleaner and dryer. Not as full of flavor but, still good. Clean medium plate. Pretty easy drinking. Another good weissbier.

500 ml Bottle @ Home

Pours a clear golden with a lasting fluffy white head. Has a lively fruity aroma and flavour, with hints of wheat. Doesn’t have any noticeable bitterness. Lively carbonation with a light body. Lasting finish with lingering fruitiness. A good beer, I would recommend it.

(pint bottle - glass) Pours a clear golden yellow liquid with a thick head that eventually dissapates. Aroma is of a wheat malt and a banana, clove yeast. Taste is a balance of malt and yeast with little detectable hops. Taste also has notes of banana, clove, licorice and bubblegum. It is medium bodied and has an average carbonation.

( 500ml bottle) pours very clear golden, nice lasting white head, effervescent bubbles emanating from the bottom of my glass. Nose of cereal grains, banana and spices. Taste of ripe bananas, wheat, and spices with a dry finish. Very carbonated, nice body but slightly off flavor in the finish here. Very drinkable clear wheat beer.

Poured clear and gold with bubbles streaming towards an almost creamy white head. Spotty lacing. The aroma is cereal, wheat, light spice and a touch of citrus. The flavor is spicy wheat and some citrus. Clean and easy drinking Really pretty damn good.

Bottle from Winooski. Pours clear pale amber with a big white creamy and foamy head. Nose is very citrusy with notes of wheat. Taste is mainly wheat with some citrusy notes. Quite fruity on the finish. Strong wheat presence. i think his may be the best wheat beer I’ve had. Quite refreshing and fresh. Finish is a bit dry compared to others wheat beer. Nice beer, I liked it a lot !
