Tap. Bubblegum and peach aroma. Cloudy amber color with moderate head. Sweet bubblegum and peach flavor - didn’t really get that much malt flavor. An okay Weizen but a bit too sweet and not enough malt for me.

Draught, Seattle Fully hazy orange-amber; little yellowish rim. Very bready, bit sour bread-like, citrussy acidity>. Sweet taste with only a citrus flavour, no acidity here. In the background some sweetness, but without the bready character. Bit burning MF; medium bodied, bit to the "smooth" side. Bit unidimensional, not very heartlifting. Mission Valley Dry, leafy, slighlty bready to toasted notes, bit of caramel. Bit flattish-sweet; with fruity notes not traceable in the nose. Again caramel. Quite slick, medium bodied, hint at alcohol retronasal. Decent Maibock. 6/4/6/3/ 13

On draught at the Columbus brewpub’s Maibock Tapping Party. Hazy light amber/orange color with a medium thick off-white head that lasts fairly well. Earthy malt and floral hops aroma. Medium-bodied with a fairly bitter character. Flavors of malt, grain and fruit are counterbalanced by an indistinct bitterness. The finish is fruity and still bitter. Not too bad really, just needs better balance.

Golden color. Light fruity-malty aroma. Some malt taste, some sweetness, warming alcohol perception. Not bad, but...

Hazy dark amber color. Clean aroma of ripe banana. Sweet taste, mix of their Hefeweizen and Dunkel (caramel and banana) and this one as well is not much hopped.

Dark amber color. Aroma of caramel. Caramel taste, much more… full and round than a classic German. Not enough hopping.
