Side Launch Wheat is an authentic Bavarian style wheat beer, served unfiltered with its natural yeast and proteins.
Formerly known as Denison’s Weißbier, Michael Hancock, co-founder of Side Launch Brewing, brought the beer there, where it is still brewed to the same recipe.

Bottle @ Brandon’s, courtesy of pushkinwow. Huge thanks! Somewhat hazy, cloudy, yellow orange appearance with a fizzy, soda like head. Spicy, lemon, clove, carbonated, sweet aroma. Spicy, clove, ginger, lemongrass, lemon, bready, wheat malty flavor. Pretty good but a little disappointed.

Refrigerated can complements of pushkinwow, poured into a weizen glass. Pours cloudy light orange with yellow highlights and some floating yeast. Aroma is light banana and clove, very little lacing, small white head that dissapates quickly, medium/light carbonation, and smooth texture. Taste is banana, some clove, and some wheat.

Tasted at Beerbistro, Toronto on 9 July 2011. Slightly hazy pale yellow color, small whitish foamy head, light citrus aroma, medium carbonation, cheese flavor/taste, long finish. Very refreshing after a hot day!

thanks to jerc for the can! Pours light gold and CLEAR! Is this filtered? thin white head. Aroma is big wheat, clean grass malt notes and a little spicing but not so much clove, more like nutmeg or pumpkin spices. Flavor is really good and saves the day. It actually tastes like a cross between a light helles and a weissen. Light grainy notes of hay and crackers with some wheat coming forward and a crisp finish of light clove spice. Not bad.

Great hazy golden coloured body with a large white head that tops the beer perfectly. Aroma of wheat, coriander seed, curacao, bubble gum and a lot of yeast - absolutely perfect and bright. Medium-bodied; Great wheatie body and flavour at first with a good pungent citrus and curacao flavour afterwards. Aftertaste shows a good amount of sweetness, some light yeast notes and a good fresh wheat/malt kick that lasts indefinitely. Overall, a great wheat and easily a great choice as my first beer this time up here in Canada. I sampled this pint on draught at Black Hoof (Bar/Restaurant) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 09-October-2009.

Canned. Hazy orangeish golden colour with a mediumsized cremy white head. Aroma is wheat, some mild spices, yeast as well as some slight toffeeish notes. Flavour is being quite much the same. Actually a very pleasant Hefeweizen.

Can at ChrisO "I’m Trying to see the Stool" pre GBBF2010 tasting. Someone told me this is the highest rated weisse beer on this site? Is that right? Surely not? Smells like a Belgian wit beer. Not as good as say regular Schneider Weisee. It’s fine, but more a lemony wit that a German Hefe. Not the best wheat beer ever. Not overly soapy but falls for me more into a Belgian wit style than the German hefe style, it’s that bland.

473mL can, pours very cloudy golden yellow with a tiny white head. Simple aroma of bananas, citrus and wheat. Flavour is light fruits, clove, banana, citrus and wheat, though more restrained and slightly watery on the finish. Kind of let down by this considering the rating, though it's still very good.
