Not what we've all been accustomed to for our "classic" weissbier. It actually looks much more like a pale ale or amber with a copper hue and a light off white head. The spotty lacing is unpretentious but good looking.

The aroma clearly has that German banana and clovey aroma, but it's mild and well integrated with a toasty bread and dash of caramel.

The flavor follows. It is dominated by the banana/ bubblegum we've all grown to love or hate, but again, it's backed by a much more toasty approach than commonly found to style. It's very nice actually.

It's about as full feeling as should be, slick even. But even that is balanced well by a good balancing crisp carbonation. Sweet, but not too sweet, though "bitterness" is not detectable.

I'm still not a fan of Hefe's or Weissbiers in general for the most part. But this has something going for it. Might even sway me a bit to take a chance at the style once in a while. Rosenstadt continues to impress with the classics as well as the modern twists like this one.

Cheers.

On tap at Nostrana.

A surprisingly clear light orange with a dense off-white head with good retention and lacing , this looks solid. The nose is a nice blend of grain, bananas and clove, bright and mildly spicy. The palate opens with a blend of clove, a little pepper and a moderate ripe banana note. This is followed by a soft dough note, rather simple rather than rustic. Light in body and crisply carbonated, this is refreshing.
