On tap St. Augustine's, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out sweet cereal malts, bready notes and straw. Flavour is along the same lines, with cereal malt upfront and minerally notes on the finish. Light sweetness that is welcome. Bland and boring, but clean.

On tap. Pours a cloudy yellow with almost no head. Light aromas of apricots and bananas with underlying funky notes. Earthy flavor with elements of vegetable juice and wheat.

Definitely the best beer I had at the brewery. Pours cloudy gold with some good head and lacing. Nice banana and even some bubblegum in aroma. Soft yeast and carbonation. Well done German hefeweizen, reminds me of Denisons weissbeer in Toronto. Finishes sweet and sour with good balance.

Draught at The Met, New Westminster
Hazy blond color, with small creamy head. Mild but nice aroma of wheat and spices. Smooth mouthfeel, delicate wheat flavor, mild spices, light banana, light residual sweetness, traces of bread, and correct bitterness.
Overall a good wheat ale.
