Tap at the brewpub. Pours gold with a white head. Fruity aroma. Med body or nearly. Flavor is a little ready; a lot hoppy; citrus/mosaic? Pretty good for the low ABV. Finishes nicely bitter.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours translucent dark gold with a creamy off0white head. Aroma is rather Woody and seems fruity. Near full bodied. Flavor has nice wood and Ray aspects - tho not very strong; heat is is very restrained; some whet notes. Not very sweet, and it’s woody bitter. Rye spice is present in the finish. Very nice.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is chocolate and nuts? Med body. Flavor is chocolate, med dark malt, arguably nuts. It’s lightly sweet; a "warmer" sort of thing. Hop? Not for me. Clean malty finish. Works.

Tap at the brewpub. Pour sight glad with a white head. Aroma is lightly bready malt. Med body or so. Flavor is bready, possibly with a hint of citrus. Rather bland, lightly bitter, but an easy drink for lunch.

Can from Firma Bier, at 4.7%, large sample. Hazy golden color, medium frothy head. Aroma of grainy wheat, spicy, banana, bit clove, brinta, slight citrus. Soft citrussy bitterness, bit tart note even, grassy and grainy wheat. Not as sweet as weizens can be. Decent take on a weizen though.
