Cloudy yellow in the glass.

Rich nose of banana and bubblegum, not altogether appealing.

Confusing sour/bitter palate. A "doughnut beer" - taste hole in the middle of the mouth.

Not a beer I would try again, though admittedly I'm not familiar with Weizens.

A-Pours hazy blonde with a few little floating blobs of yeast and a clingy, off white head. Soapy lacing.

S-Wow, this is funky! Smells like the De Proef Reinaert. Definitely some brettanomyces in here. Lemony tartness similar to a Berliner Weisse.

T/M-I'm now convinced this is a Berliner Weisse, though the label refers to it simply as a "Weizen." Plenty of funky brett up front, accentuated by the slightest hint of lemony tartness. Light bodied with soft, light carbonation.

O-Could use a little more carbonation to bring out the acidity, but otherwise a really pleasant surprise. Happy to have stumbled upon this.
