Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Kenny. Pours unclear gold with a soft, frothy white head. Delightful aroma aroma with subtle funk, lemon, tangerine. Light to medium sweet flavor with light citrus tang, mild lemon rind, a bit of alcohol warmth, white grape. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly warming to finish with some woody elements, peach, lemon, subtle grass and hay. Very nice.

Bottle thanks to Kenny. Slow gusher. It pours hazy golden with medium white head. The nose is barnyard, earth, light funk, spice, tart apricot, sherbet notes, light vinegar and wood. The taste is crisp, hay, apricot, peach, sherbet, candy, wood, hay, barnyard, earthy, spice, warming alcohol with a dry, earthy finish. Medium+ body and lively carbonation. Was hoping for more wine character, but that’s what you get with 3rd fill... Decent enough.

Little bit cloudy. Fairly typical hefe aroma with a bit of footiness. Sweet front, touch of tartness, light footy yeast character. Decent hefe but not mind-blowing.

"2 oz" bottle bottle pour at SAVOR’s Friday night session. Poured a hazy golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma was totally apricot. Earthy hop notes, balanced malts. Nice funky notes. Flavor was apricot juice, tartness, fruity character. Very enjoyable.

12 oz. can. Pours a slightly hazy yellow, with a medium, bubbly, off-white head. The aroma is big notes of oranges, bubblegum, and butterscotch, with some notes of wheat and coriander. Citrusy sweetness, lots of esters, and just a touch of bitterness in the finish, which balances very nicely, and finishes clean. Light to medium body, chewy, and lightly carbonated. This is a very crisp, citrusy, aromatic example of a hefeweizen. Aromatic, well-made, and very drinkable.
