Can shared by explosivedog: pours slightly hazed yellow with white head. Aroma is banana, spice, bubblegum. Taste is that of a standard hefeweizen, but all the tight notes are hit. Solid.

Can, Crystal clear gold color with a small white head that has fair retention. The aroma is soft with grains, breads and some mild spicy hops. The taste, like the aroma, has cereal grains, light peppery spices and bread. The palate is light and crisp. Finishes with lingering high acidity. Overall: Decent little pils for those that enjoy such things.
