Draught @ Oliver Twist. Pours very hazy brownish golden with a small creamy white head that leaves some rather thick lacing on the glass while dissipating. Smell is sweet and slightly spicy with lemon zest, cloves, green grapes, crackers, gummi candy, grape juice, jasmin, white pepper and hints of grapefruit juice. Taste is sweet, tiny sour and fruity with peaches, papaya, passion fruit, pineapple, grapes, wine gums, grass, orange zest, lemon zest and hints of cloves and sheet metal. Mouthfeel is crisp, slightly watery and light bodied. Finish is tiny sweet and very tiny sour with lemon zest, orange zest, grapefruit juice, crackers, cloves and sheet metal. A refreshing summer brew.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours cloudy deep golden with small white head. Thin big bubble lacing, medium body, low carbonation, and tart aroma. Taste is banana, off sourness, and some wheat. A little sharp and heavy for a good wheat.

330ml bottle from K-Supermarket Kamppi
Pours light yellow with a small white head. Aroma of fruits, yeast, malts and spices. Taste is light with some fruits and wheat. Hints of spices. Finish is slightly malty and fruity. Okay, easy to drink but a bit too light bodied and watery.

No smell whatsoever. Brown colour, muddy. Tiny head. Very citric. Muddy complexion does not reflect the fruitiness of weizens generally. Sour, lightly sweet.

Bottle. Weak sweet wheat malt aroma. Hazy golden straw color with a moderate off-white head. Sweet wheat malt flavor, and a slight spicy dry bitterness in the finish. Light body and cabonation.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Colonial Wine and Spirits, 2/21/12
Aroma: The aroma is mostly citrus and wheat, with some spice notes
Appearance: It pours a cloudy bright yellow-golden color with a nice white head
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet, with citrus and wheat, some hop spine, and a mild bitterness
Palate: It is light-medium bodied, with a tingly carbonation, and a refreshing and somewhat crisp feel
Overall Impression: This is a pretty decent wheat ale. It is simple, drinkable, and refreshing, which is really all I'm looking for in this style. There's some sweetness, but it isn't cloyingly sweet. I enjoyed it.

35,5 cl bottle @ Olutravintola Konttori. Rated on 04.06.2011
Rather wheaty but still somewhat fresh aroma with hints of yeast and fruits. Also some fruity hops. Flavour is hoppy with wheat, hints of yeast, bubblegum and banana. A bit light, but refreshing stuff anyway.

Cloudy, yellow beer with a medium and white head. Aroma is refrehsning and good, tropical fruits, peaches, fructose and hint of toffee. Taste is tropical fruity, fresh, hint of sourness and wheat gives lightness; quite simple and short taste, but still tastefull. Light to drink with nice carbonation. Interesting, light and tastefull refreshner for a warm summer day; american fruitness meets a light wheatness.
