Frothy thick white head. Nice banana estry nose. Medium full body, slightly creamy and slightly tart. Nice clove and banana character though somewhat mainstream accented. Definetely a US brewpub chain like weizen bock. Nothing exciting but not bad either

Bottle. Citrus hop nose with creamy wheat and esters. Lemon and orange. As it warmed, I almost get a Saison Dupont nose from it. Cloudy golden orange with a low, thick head. Hazy. Creamy wheat and citrus flavor, almost weizenbock like, but with that US hop thing. Approaching a hopfenweisse. A bit thin for the weight, but a nice beer I would happily drink again.

Bottle from Family Mart. Pours a hazy copper with a two-finger head of foam that lingers for a bit. Big bready, banana pudding flavors with some light tartness. Body is thin and watery with a lager-like texture. A bit boozy and sweet for my liking and gets uber cloying towards the end. Better than I expected though. --- Beer merged from original tick of Grand Kirin Fukurou no Mori on 13 Dec 2015 at 17:18 - Score: 5
