Bottle order via Rakuten, roughly 500 yen or so. Served at home in my Otaru Weizen glass. Best Before May 24th, 2014.Very light cloudy straw gold color with a foamy eggshell white head that vanishes pretty fast without any lacing. Bready, wheat, banana, mild lemon & light cloves aroma. Medium to light bodied with a fairly silky mouthfeel though as I drink more I start to feel it is a bit watery. The taste is of a solid weizen, spicy cloves, wheat, some banana. Fairly solid. This is actually pretty good but as noted by KyotoLefty & myself the main drawback is the too light palate.

Bottle, July 2007. ☆☆☆/☆ Organic weizen, unpasteurized and unfiltered. Very cloudy golden yellow with a tall white fine head. Rich malt aroma with banana and clove. Slightly sweet with a decent dryness as well. Smooth malty flavor, strong barley flavor in there as well. Bananas and cloves, spices, wheat and banana finish. Very dry finish, with a bit more hops than usual. Very good, with good balance, but a little lighter in flavor than the best. A bit thin.
