Found this can at a local Metro store. Pours a hazy golden-yellow colour with a big creamy white cap that lasts quite a while with thick creamy lacing. Mild citrus aromas with the wheat base, spices like cloves. Hints of bananas, found stronger in the taste. A nice balance of the light spices and citrus again. A thin mouthfeel that makes this easy to drink, kind of refreshing. Like most, much better than expected. Pretty good for summer.

500ml bottle at home. Pours a hazy amber-orange, nice large white dense head. Aroma of banana, bubblegum, some freshly cut grass. Taste is an off-putting flavor of burnt sugar and hop resin. Over carbonated to the point of almost being soda-like. Not great.

From a 33 cl bottle. Pours a cloudy pale gold with an off white head. Aroma is bready. Flavors are bread and a bit of lemon. Crisp and refreshing finish.

Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours gold with a mostly creamy white head. Aroma seems yeasty with citrus. Med minus body. Flavor is sort of Belgian (hints of banana and clove) with some citrus. For some reason it isn't coming across as "wheaty". It's making me think spelt. Not very dry and hardly bitter. Pleasant and very quaffable. That's a lot from me, as I usually do not like wheat ales.

500ml bottle: BB 13th July 18. Poured into a Franziskaner Weissbier glass at home on 16th March 18. It certainly looked good, misty, dirty orange with a deep pillow of white foam for a head. Plenty of carbonation bubbles rising through the murky body. Yeasty aroma with a wheat undertone, I tried to find some vanilla, banana and clove esters, but I have a cold and couldn't detect any. The taste however did have light elements of those three mentioned esters; it's wheaty first and foremost in flavour, with mild yeasty, vanilla and banana notes, maybe a mini clove trace as well. I have to admit it is a lot better than I thought it was going to be. So well done Guinness for producing a completely different style of beer than you are used too.

Some bodega: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is lightly fruity, wheaty, kind of bready. Taste is sweet with low hops. Easy to drink and pretty refreshing.

Bottle. Nose is wheat, lime, hint of banana. Taste is wheat, banana, touch of bubblegum, spice, touch of citrus, bread. It's cheerful enough, and better than I was expecting, and would work as a budget supermarket wheat beer.

Drinking at work because they like to recognise how good we are sometimes, providing a nice buffet and some beverages.

Bottle from Tesco and drunk at home. Hazy pale gold orange lasting white head. Some wheat presence in mouth. Not quite a hefe. Some hefe character to be honest. Some orange and lemon flavour. A little yeast ester on aroma. Some hop and bitterness on the finish. Not a bad hefe/wheat ale. More hefe for me. Yep pretty decent, I liked it
