Unfiltered and unfettered, Circus Boy is a unique and refreshing American-style Hefeweizen. Is he a who? Or a what? Or perhaps some of both? Be amazed by the flavorful haze of this wonderful wheat beer.

12 ounce bottle poured into a tulip glass.

L---Hazy, golden color. Medium white cap that faded quickly to a ring. Minimal lacing.

S---Very, very light smell, overall. I mean, like practically nothing at all. Just some faint, vague sweetness.

T---There's a lot more going on with the taste than in the nose. A little bit of banana, lemon & lemongrass.

F---A little astringent with some noticeable drying of the mouth. Good carbonation.

O---Not a very good hefe. It's missing the classic notes of banana & clove. More just vaguely sweet, than any strong flavors or scents. Would not get this one again.

An interesting wheat beer, it's a hazy light orange with slight banana flavor, not bad at all. Cheers! B-

Is it a hefeweizen? Or a pale wheat ale? I don't know and apparently neither does the brewer. It's not bad but is a bit watery. Slightly cloudy with some wheat aroma and flavor and none of the banana/clove/bubblegum esters I was expecting.
