16oz can from Bier Cellar. Cloudy golden, fast dissipating head. Bready aroma with light yeasty notes. Taste is lemony, malty. I would suggest this a wheat ale, as the usual weizen yeast and accompanying characteristic are missing.

An easy pour yielded a finger of egg-shell white, rich soapy foam with long retention and small spots of lace.
Very hazy (I can see my fingers but can't read through it) yellow straw color, yellow gold in bright light.
Mild smell of clove and banana greets the nose as expected. Shredded wheat with some toasted character in the background, faint lemony citrus and herbal hops join in.
Neutral on sweetness with low bitterness, yeasty bread and bubble gum appear during the taste. Items from the smell get their turn, however rich grainy malt is king. A slight tang is noticed as hop bitterness builds a little.
The finish clean, smooth and refreshing. The aftertaste lingers as wheaty malt and spicy hops slowly fade.
Medium-light bodied with lasting and plentiful carbonation. Smooth and session-able easy drinker, true to style and just plain enjoyable. I'm glad to see the BA score as 85, I don't see this as a 3.87 avg. Hefe. I'm going high on this one.

It's best to serve this beer in a Hefe glass.
Place the bottle on the counter, turn it around a few times, then hold it and turn it up and down a few times.
This gets the yeast mixed in.
Pour slowly at an angle. Then near the top of the pour, hold the beer bottle and shake it so the bottom liquid circulates in the bottle.
Then, pour straight down assuring that yeast gets in. Changes the flavor of th beer.
Poured a cloudy apricot color with a 2F head in a Brooklyn Hefe glass.
Best served at 48° to bring out flavor.
Aroma: clove, lemon.
Carbonated, medium-light body.
Taste: clove, fruit and licorice with warming , which also begins to be noticed with warming.
Finish: lightly bitter, dry, crisp.
Overall: excellent approach to Hefe. The head retention could be better. Warming does being out flavor.
Best at 48°.
