Pour looks like a hazy IPA with a large foamy white head. Aroma is wheat malt, bubble gum and cloves. Flavor is a big bubble gum sweetness with some chewy wheat malt and a peppery spice on the back end. No banana like some others but this had lots of flavor and a super thick and chewy mouthfeel.

Can - oh my, they did this one right - turbid gold - creamy and full texture in the mouth - bready but dry, with a light tartness on the back end - big white pepper spiciness, with background clove notes - simultaneously refreshing and full - not quite as good as Weihenstephaner, but man is it close.

Poured from a can dated 2/25/26 into a weizen glass
Pours a cloudy pale goldenrod, almost two fingers of tight head that settles to a ring leaving plenty of slick lace that slides back down.
Aromas of wheat, big bubblegum notes and clove, more minor notes of banana and tart citrus.
The wheat carries through to the taste, followed by the big blast of bubble gum, a bit of spicy clove melds with the banana and citrus notes.
A light body with prickly carbonation, super smooth and refreshing. A low barely present bitterness makes this incredibly sessionable.
Overall this a refreshing hefe, brewed with their house lager yeast impresses me. I wish it had a bigger head with better retention but that's probably a bit of a nitpick. I'd come back to this in the dog days of summer and and be very happy with it.

Brewery draught, 2/25/25.
Gently cloudy, pale-golden. Small, white head.
Gentle clove, light bubble gum, some honey-like malt and a fresh, floral hoppiness.
Clean, not too clovey nor is there any huge banana or bubble gum. Just chewy, nutty wheat, honey-like pils malt, fresh, bright, floral hops, very mild bitterness and mild pepper. Easygoing but fairly flavorful with an excellent body, texture an dryness.
