Canada’s most eastern province is Newfoundland, and taking a north eastern take on the hefeweizen style, this beer was brewed with new-age tropical hops to give a fruity, aromatic twist on the classic German style.

330ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Sweet aroma of wheat malt, banana, clove, tropical fruit and yeast. Sweet flavour of wheat malt, banana, lemon, pineapple, clove and light yeast with a dry, bitter hop finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. A bit of a miss. The addition of tropical hops had a negative instead of positive outcome on this beer.

Bottle from the LCBO (Central City Across the Nation Collaboration pack). Hazy pale gold under a small lingering white head. Muted nose has some banana and cloves along with a touch of tropical fruit and citrus. Light sweet malt with a light+ pineapple bitterness and some spice. Mouth is a touch thin with average carbonation and a lightly tart and spicy finish. Not quite a Hefe but interesting. 6/3+/7/3/13

Bottle: Poured a clear yellow color Weizen with a medium white foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of light sweet malt notes with some minor tropical hops notes. Taste is a refreshing mix of sweet wheat malt notes with light bubble-gum ester with some minor tropical hops notes. Body is light with OK carbonation. Enjoyable with limited complexity.

On tap at Central City on Beatty, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of banana esters and a touch of clove. Flavour is very half-hearted, with light banana and moderate sweetness. Weak, estery and overall just bad.
