Near amber red with no head whatsoever and not one bubble of carbonation. Completely flat. Aroma of sweet wheat. Thats it. Tastes sweet and tepid. Mild flavors of sweet rotten wheat. Thats all. Mouthfeel is flat, lifeless, and cloying. Nasty. Absolutely undrinkable.

Growler courtesy of a travelling colleague. Pours a dark golden color with tiny bubbles. Medium foamy white head that stays pretty well. Thin, patchy lacing. Aroma of wheat and light malt. Light and smooth body with soft carbonation, with subtle wheat and sweet fruit flavors. Some malt as well. Nothing comes through very strong but at the same time the interplay between the airy flavors is somewhat pleasing. Not a great beer but intriguues me to try their other offerings.

Very pale yellow with a rapidly retreating off-white head.
Touches of fruity weizen esters on the nose, otherwise nothing.
Dry pils malts up front, fading to a nondescript fruitiness that suggests banana or vanilla. Peppery spiciness enters next (easily the highlight), and it closes with a bit of herbal hops.
Straight-forward, and all the flavors come in succession. This is akin to a Belgian Wit minus any sort of typical spicing. Clearly brewed conservatively for the masses.
Light bodied, and without any sustance or heft or even crispness.
Snoozeworthy.
