A - Hazy mid golden colour. An inch or so of fluffy white head.
S - Wheat maltiness with a touch of clove. Some fruit aromas but the banana is lacking.
T - Like the smell but also with some sour notes.
M - Medium bodied, fairly high carbonation.
D - A little bit lacking in the typical hefe weizen character for my liking but other than that it's an alright drop.

Love the bottle, with the paper closure over the cap.

Poured into a 330ml wheatbeer glass. The head is white with largish bubbles for a wheat, so it collapses to a thin head fairly quickly. Attractive cloudy apricot.

Aromas of banana and subtle citrus, powdered ginger, backed up by toffee malt notes. Some fleshy sulfur notes when swirled. Warms to some other fruit notes, like pineapple.

Robust wheat flavour, with fruit tingle tang. Subtle citrus again, giving a lemon candy-like background to the chewy wheat profile.

Good, full palate, finish crisply with the light acid, with a light bitterness rounding it off.

Nice drink, and excellent on a hot day.
