Golden color, small white head - this is more like Kristallweizen, not "Hefeweizen". Light sweet mango-banana aroma, some sourish notes too. Dry, grassy, quite strange - a bit witbier-like flavor. Even similarities to New Glarus Spotted Cow which I sampled today earlier. Very unusual wheat beer.

I had this beer at the 3 wise monkey’s pub in Sydney. Crowdy bar for young people (like me or younger), but the reason i went over there was the live music. However, they served this draft beer with a huge slice of citrus in it, so I couldn’t recognise this one as a Hefeweizen. Clear yellow color, short head. The slice of citrus made it smell like citrus, sweet and penetrating, only some hops. I couldn’t recognise any banana or clove. Taste was like a regular pale lager, but with a more sirupy texture. Still, it was not too bad.

Golden coloured and crystal clear. Fruity, estery banana aroma. Clean with some wheat flvaour. A typical, refreshing German style Kristallweizen.

Not a bad wheat last time out (2001) but now Redback just sucks. Looks filtered, right off the bat a bad sign. Fresh banana nose is straightforward and all. The palate is soft, sweet with light fruit. The wheat shows mainly in the acidity in the back. This beer really misses the "Cloudy".
