Reviewed from notes.
Can to weizen glass. Consumed 07/28/2018.
Appearance: hazy burnt orange color with a three finger white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did some light lace appeared along the glass sides
Aroma: light sweet wheat with a nice clove-like spicy tone and bready sweet note to it, some banana whiffs to it, light strawberries on the back end, uhmmm, alright then, interesting
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to lightly spicy quality and adds in a little bit of vanilla sweetness to round it out before finishing with the sweet wheat side and a touch of the clove
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness with a light aspect of the creaminess in there then a lighter kick from the wheat (not the bite I was looking for)
Overall: seems somewhat "modernized" with that strawberry note to it as well as there wasn't any "bubblegum" like notes to this. Hmmmmm...maybe again.

Canned 3/30, drunk 6/21/18.
Cloudy, ruddy strawberry blonde-to-copper. Off-white head sits at light cover.
Strawberry smells real/authentic, lightly juicy and soft. Light wheat behind it and a small amount of tart acidity to give it some balance and complexity. Quite simple, as intended no doubt, and very clean.
White pepper and clove add quite a bit of bitterness and the beer is soft and dry with strong wheat textures, of course. Low, engaging carbonation and highly attenuated strawberry character with low juiciness. Very gently tart and nicely bitter with a soft, yet still somewhat crisp ending. Very drinkable.
