Our unfiltered and refreshing German-style wheat beer is full on flavor yet light on the palate. Authentic hefeweizen yeast creates the compelling aromas of bananas, citrus, and cloves, while the all wheat and malt body perfectly captures the brilliance of a golden Florida sunset.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a Cigar City pint glass.

White thick creamy 1 finger head,retains well.Light carbonation,also retains well.Golden straw color,clear but hazy.

The nose is banana,bread,wheat,and hints of citrus.This beer has a nice sweet smell to it.I also get a small hint of yeast,nothing offensive...Very pleasant actually.

The palate follows the nose I get wheat/yeast blended with banana/citrus.Again it has a nice sweet and also sticky taste to it.

The body is medium light,with a slight silky texture it.Smooth,dry finish, with slight tingling on the tongue from the carbonation.

I'm not a huge fan of wheat beer,but this is a nice beer for a hot summer day.One thing I will mis about Florida is,sitting in the pool,and watching tv on the back porch,while drinking Floridians!!! This is a very refreshing beer.

pours nice

spicey and floral scents, a bit odd & more spice than beer

taste has lots of that flavor of whatever you would soak a ham in...

mouthfeel is kinda watery, not a fan, and as it warms that enhances. drink it cold and fast.

finish reminds me of bitter water

overall, i guess a good hammy hefeweisen, but not up my alley. if someone handed it to me i'd enjoy it, assuming it was super cold, and I'd drink it up pretty quick before it started flattening out.

Draft: Poured a slightly cloudy gold/orangey color ale with a medium size foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of semi-sweet wheat malt with some light bubblegum notes and faint bitterness. Taste is also a mix of sweet wheat malt notes with some bubblegum ester notes and light hops bitterness. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable wheat with very refreshing notes.

12 ounce can into a pint glass.
Reasonable foam sits atop the golden brew.
Aroma of classic hefe. Clove right up front. Banana right behind.
Taste wise, this is not a bad effort from Funky Buddha - I have been pretty hard on their techniques, they use a lot of syrup. But not here. Fresh, classic, pure ingredients.
Feel is light, leaning to medium body, medium carbonation.
Overall, not too bad.,. I’ll finish the sixer and keep it in mind.,.

Part of an Advent calendar.

Best by December 2022. Yikes.

Pours a mostly clear pale gold with a small head of foam with some lacing.

Smells of cloves and banana, not much beyond that as the cloves are really strong.

Wheat, big cloves, bananas, eh...rather typical of the style, just not in the freshest way.

Light body and carbonation.

Good enough, I guess.
