Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Bready malt aromas with faint leafy green notes. Clean a mind crisp but soft carbonation....well rounded mouthfeel. Mineral, noble hops. Very German-like.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 12/26/2017. Pours very hazy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tart lemon, lime, mandarin orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, green apple, white grape/wine, mango, melon, passion fruit, guava, berries, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, peppercorn, wheat, cracker, white bread, light lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy/acidic yeast, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart lemon, lime, mandarin orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, green apple, white grape/wine, mango, melon, passion fruit, guava, berries, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, peppercorn, wheat, cracker, white bread, light lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast spiciness, Brett/Lactic tang/tartness; and light herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemon, lime, mandarin orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, green apple, white grape/wine, mango, melon, passion fruit, guava, berries, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, peppercorn, wheat, cracker, white bread, light lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy/acidic yeast, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance; and no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tart/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly crisp/acidic/sticky/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 5.5%. Overall this is an excellent sour saison. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy/acidic yeast, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the mellowly acidic/spicy/drying finish, not overly lactic. Great Mandarina Bavaria/Hallertau Blanc profile. Great balance of juicy hops and Brett/Lacto/saison yeast complexity; great pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity, with minimal residual sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 1/8/2018. Pours very hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lemon, orange peel/rind, coriander, pear, red apple, peppercorn, pine, light banana/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, earthy hops, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with good strength. A bit too yeasty/spicy aromas. Taste of big lemon, orange peel/rind, coriander, pear, red apple, peppercorn, pine, light banana/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; and peppery yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange peel/rind, coriander, pear, red apple, peppercorn, pine, light banana/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, earthy hops, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Touch of lingering resins after the finish. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.9%. Overall this is a very good witbier. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, earthy hops, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. This felt way too bitter/hoppy for the style, but still really tasty stuff. Very well balanced between all flavors. A very enjoyable offering, and good style example otherwise.

Can at the July DC RB mini-tasting. Poured a nearly clear, vibrant yellow color with a fizzy head. Aroma was sweet, slightly herbal. Touch of citrus, zesty lime. Light tart sweetness in this one, with a touch of herbal, tea like characters with a lemon slice.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy straw gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Light tropical nose with citrus and pineapple. Smooth on the palate, lowish carbonation. More orange and melon flesh. More IPA than weizen but still enjoyable. Was hoping for more of the weizen character though honestly. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hefe'n Hazy on 14 May 2018 at 10:10 - Score: 7. Original review text: Light tropical nose with citrus and pineapple. Smooth on the palate, lowish carbonation. More orange and melon flesh. More IPA than weizen.

12oz can. Dated early February. Hazy beer. The hops are nicely fruity -tangerine mostly. Yeah, not super BE but fun hops with not much getting in the way. Low bitterness.

12oz can. Dated 12/28. Amber brown color. I don't know what to make of it. Wet soppy malts and light generic hops. Nothing stands out and a bit if mish mash of things.
