This is a cloudy yellow colored beer. It has a small (for the style) white head. The aroma is faintly of wheat and citrus, along with some yeast and faint but appropriate esters. There's also a sour twang-like aroma that's very distracting and not well placed. The taste is also a little sour, citric, and mouth-puckering. It has some yeast flavor and is fleetingly reminiscent of baking bread. A carbonic bite makes the mouthfeel interesting. Fairly light in body, though. All in all, this one didn't do anything for me.

Light yellow in colour, scarce foam, too liitle for a weizen and it falls quickly to zero.
The smell is banana, not persistent, but overall is citric (and maybe the yeast smell is a little too strong).
The taste is very citric, surely too citric. The wheat and notes of bread in the background. Not pleasant feelings (sweetness, sirupy).
Undefineable aftertaste, but anyway it is again on the citric, and falling.
