Serviceable hefe. This isn’t a great version, but it’s easy to drink and didn’t have any real off-notes, so who am I to complain? Light but definite lemon in the aroma. Some banana bread and wheat spice, but it could be more assertive. Flavor is lightly sweet. Again, kinda underwhelming in intensity but still good. Feel was also a bit watery, though there may have been other factors involved. I’ll definitely try this beer again (mostly because there were some service issues - super chilled glass, lemon slice, no head - I mended things as best I could, but I’ll be back to you Drake’s Hefe).

Bottle. Pours with a huge, light lasting, perfectly white head. Hazy yellow body hidden underneath. Aroma of banana esters, caramel, vanilla and very light clove. Taste is very light in general, a bit watery with banana, caramel, CO2, and light spice. Very fizzy and dry mouthfeel.

Bottled. Muddy pale amber, rich head. Light orangey papery nose. Sweet with bold and very spritxy mouthfeel. Plenty of cardboardy wheat malt, but very low on esters. Possibly an old bottle, but with note date on the bottle I can’t really tell.

Bottled (Thanks stoutlover72). Hazy orange colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is zest, slight yeast and and slight acidicness Flavour is yeast, wheat, paper, fruits and some slight earth and spices. Refreshing, but the acidicness feels like it shouldn’t be there...
