Flight at brewery. Very pale color, clear. I think it’s a well executed. Just enough banana aroma to make it a definite weizen but clean and clear with just a slightly muddled malt - a bit vegetal white bread. A mineral quality. Decent stuff for this style.

Draught at Elizabeth Station, Bellingham
Blond color, clear. Smell of corn and stale water. Dry and weak mouthfeel, some wheat, otherwise poor flavor; low bitterness.
Useless.

On tap at Black Raven, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very dry and dull, with dry cereal notes. Flavour is dry, with dry cereal and crackery malt. Bone dry and drinkable, but pretty boring.

Light body, very wheaty character with a touch of straw. Decent amount of hops. Good character for a crystal Weizen, but still fairly straight forward simple beer.

Draft pour at 192. Very light pour with little head. Hints of banana flavor. Happened to be in the mood for something lighter, and overall I thought this was a great beer.

Growler @ Armin’s house, courtesy of Azurescens. Thanks Dan! Clear golden appearance with a fluffy, white head. Pretty spicy, light clove, sort of husky wheat aroma. Well carbonated. Pretty rich bready, spicydull, grainy wheat flavor with notes of lemon and honey and a bit of tartness. Some acidity from the carbonation. Easy drinking and a nice summer beer.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a clear yellow-gold color with a medium thin white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat and fruit. Light body with flavors of sweet wheat, yeast and fruit. The finish is short and sweet with a yeast aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Growler courtesy of bvc. Growler was filled on Sunday, enjoyed on Friday evening. Pour is clear yellow golden with a big white head that falls quickly with not too much lacing. Aroma of corn grain, touch of wheat and some light lemon citrus. Taste is mostly corn initially, followed by thin wheat and citrus. As this opened up some, the corn faded, revealing nice balance between the light wheat and lemon citrus. Palate was medium carbonated, pretty light on the palate. The initial after taste was the corn, though as with the other tastes, this faded pretty quickly. This was ok, but I will re-rate this fresh at the Brewery tasting room to give it a full fair shot. Thanks for sending my way Brandon.
