(Can) Pours clear golden with a small white head. Nice aroma - tropical fruit, light caramel. Medium body with good fine bright carbonation. Full of flavour - there's fruit and sweetness and some rather harsh bitterness, but it doesn't fit together well. It's not bland, it's drinkable, but the taste is rather odd.

Pours golden yellow, some quite abundant foam at first but then comes down to total minimum relatively quickly. Nose is biscuity, some light noble hop aroma. Soaked malts. taste has more of light maltiness, biscuity and soft malty finish. Light bitterness, relatively dry bitter linger. Not bad but not great either, drinkable.

Can. Estery nose of bananas, clove, wheat malt. Pretty spot on. Clear golden with a low head. Slightly light on the malts, a bit sweet, bananas and clove, light citrus. Light body. Not bad for ths series and better than the first attempt.

Can, this one is 2017 version. Pours clear yellow, piss-colored. Not much foam and whatever it has is gone in seconds. Sweetish-malty nose, bready and light. Taste has actually some wet hop character, diluted but still. Grassy hops which are not that bad. Finish is mild, short of falls flat and just some dry bitterness remains. Better than normal version - and comparatively speaking, Premium Malts is not that bad.

The only thing premium about this beer is the price.

Fairly clear gold which is too deep a yellow (macro-lager like) rather than the opaque straw gold I prefer in a Weizen. The thick white head was nice. Sweet grainy wheat, cloves and maybe even hints of celery salt? Medium bodied with a spritzy carbonation. Eggy cloves and wheat flavor, not such a bad flavor a actually. Overall a bit too sweet but a pretty decent showing for this kind of crafty brew. I don't get the connection to winter though. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tastes a bit more hoppy than expected. Not exactly a new fav, tho...

500ml can from Family Mart. Drank from the can. Creamy wheat nose, estery, light banana and clove like a weizen. Biscuity wheat malts, very creamy and soft, estery.. Low hops but a touch of grass and citrus. Interesting use of wheat, like a hybrid lager and weizen. Need to try this again in a glass.
