Bottle - Light soft wheat and a touch of soap and corriander. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Sweet, salty and some peppery notes. Subtle and not too aggressive.Earlier Rating: 9/8/2013 Total Score: 3.6Bottle - Pale malts, lemon, straw, little farmhouse and some yeast. Cloudy pale yellow with a rich bubbly head. Quick hit of honey, lemon, grassy flavour then it disappears completely with a mild soapy salty finish. A great summer beer I could drink all night.

On tap at Darby’s Gastown. Pours an almost clear golden, with a white head. Aroma is very strange as for German Hefeweizen very fruity, similar to grut, some tropical fruits, sweety. No banana, no smoked notes. Taste is quite similar to aroma. Non-intense hoppy bitterness aftertaste. Very strange beer, not a hefeweizen at all. Not bad though.

On tap at Alibi, 2016 release. Pours very dark brown, almost black with a brown head. Aroma and taste are slightly sweet, dark fruits, burnt malt, saddle, with some chocolate, cocoa and roasted sunflower seeds notes and some alcohol. Burnt malt with dark fruits and some bourbon, saddle, chocolate and smoky notes aftertaste. Very good balanced beer. Should become even better with aging.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear amber with moderate head. Aromas of spicy Belgian yeast, light stone fruit, and a bit of burnt rubber. Light flavors of same with some gummy bears and earthiness. Definitely a Belgian influence but somewhat muted. Clean. Nice label!
