Unfiltered and unfettered, Circus Boy is a unique and refreshing American-style Hefeweizen. Is he a who? Or a what? Or perhaps some of both? Be amazed by the flavorful haze of this wonderful wheat beer.

yeah - well I don’t care what they call it but something tasted off about this, I don’t know if it was the tap or what.

Hazy golden pour, big rocky white head. Lovely aroma of malted wheat, lemon zest, and honey.
Some light cloves and some herbs round it all out with a light bitter finish.

From backlog. 355ml bottle @ SUSHISAMBA, Las Vegas. Smooth, easy going and slightly stuffy yeasty hefeweizen with hints of spices and banana. Decent.

Hazy light-golden colour with a small white cap and minimal lacing. Citrus aromas over grainy malts and wheat. The taste is also citrusy, with some light sourness over light cereal grain and spices. Was expecting a sweet heavy Hefeweizen, but seem like an easier drinking citrus-spiced ale.

Bottle: Light hazed, light yellow, with a small white head. Aroma is unusual.....a sort of wheat/butterscotch/lemon biscuit-thing.....I guess. Taste is pretty plain...wheat malt, lemon.... Moderately enjoyable, but forgettable.
