Sunrise Weissbier

Bottle. Sour wheat malt, lemon and banana aroma. Cloudy light yellow color with moderate head. Banana, lemon, clove wheat malt flavor. A citric acidity finish - the sharpest finish I ever had from a Hefe. Excellent.

ORIGINAL RATE: Slightly sour aroma. Pours transparent but a just little cloudy in my steeler stein. Barely citrusy or fruity initial taste bud hit. Typical hefe flavor on the palate with good carbonation. Nice finish, a teeny bit bitter but without any lingering or bitter aftertaste what so ever. RERATE: (4/2007) Beautifully hypnotizing pour grabs your attention with those yeast clouds spinning around, lovely. Starts off clear pale yellow then goes cloudy. Has a very thin ring around the inside of the glass for a head. Been a while since I had a good wheat and this has been long awaited. Light citrusy aroma is unique and attractive. The taste and feel of this beer is way above average. Delicious lemony taste that tingles with each sip. Cannot detect any hints of bitterness, just plain well behaved. Lovable, delicious and almost refined. Overall I would like to drink this again. The finish leaves you wanting more. Interesting mild linger than lets you know you had refreshment. You would never know this had alcohol in it, well hidden. Nice story on side of label.

Sample at AleFest Dayton: Clear yellow-gold color with a medium and foamy white head with pretty good retention. Pleasant aroma of wheat, spice and banana. Light-bodied and effervescent with a sweet character of fruit and wheat. Clove and citrus flavors are evident as well. The finish is short and spicy. Overally this is pretty well done.

Cloudy light orange color with a small creamy white head. Aroma of light orange peel. Light spiced flavor with some orange kick in the background.

Massive foamy, white head over a light straw colored body that is a little dingy with suspended particles and such. Aroma reminds me of a pilsner a little... very crisp, definite citrus notes and a little bit of clove and grass. Pretty watery, although a complex flavor, but a little weak for my tastes. Banana and cloves come through heaviest and are a nice balance, but could definitely have a more defined body.

A hazy light yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma is sweet wheaty with notes of coriander, while the flavor is sweet wheaty with a spicy touch, which I can’t put a name to. The body is thin. I find it more Belgian than German in style.

This was my first time trying this particular beer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very cloudy yellow-orange color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is sweet, yeasty and has a moderate citrus element. The mouthfeel is surprisingly thick. The flavor is yeasty and dry with noticeable wheat and a moderate citrus and banana element. The finish is dry. Other than the banana element this beer tastes more like a Belgian Wit than a German Hefeweizen.

12 oz bottle-pours a big white head. Color is a cloudy straw. Aroma is malty wheat, citrus. Taste is a bit strong on the________(spice-cloves), creamy, good carbonation.

Much more of a wit than a hefe. A bit sour with several spices; some citrus. Very cloudy and orange but the head is unimpressive after the waitress went to the trouble of turning the bottle upside down over the glass. A good wheat, but I am surprised to see it in the hefeweizen style.

Hazy yellow body, thick puffy off-white head. Traditional aroma of cloves, banana, and bready, tangy malts. Tangy wheat body with lots of clove and hints of banana, finishing a bit sweet for my taste. Crisp, clean, and fresh. Solid but unremarkable.
