355ml can poured into tulip.

Pours a pretty brassy yellow with one finger of off-white head that leaves rings of splotchy lace as it recedes.

Smells of unsweetened cereal, softly dusted pepper, peeled banana, mild alcohol and cut grass.

Tastes of grainy pale malt, more peppery hefeweizen spices, mild coriander and clove, more banana and more grassy hops.

Feels light and mild. Light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Finishes off-dry.

Verdict: Recommended. Light and tasty, goes well with a steak.

A- Holy carbonation! This is one of the most aggressively fizzy beers I think I've seen in a very long time, if ever....it has the look of Champagne ironically! The head is very white, fluffy, and has excellent retention, staying at a healthy 1/2 inch in thickness throughout the tasting! The lacing is modest at best on this clear, golden hued beer, and the clarity is relatively clear as well.

S- Overall the aromas are mild, yet grainy (barley & wheat), raw grains, grassy notes, slightly tropical fruit, sweet mollasses/toffee, yeast and very muted hop bitterness on the finish.

T- Caramel & banana flavinoids from the malt, and there is slight baking spices present on the palate, along with yeasty/biscuit/bread tones, and a mildly hopped finish. The body does have classic wheat beer notes and carries a slight spice that lingers long after the taste has finished.

M/O- Light bodied, crisp, plenty of carbonation and highly drinkable! Overall, this isn't a proper Hefeweizen.....more like a Kristalweizen, and its a basic version of the style. Now, with this said, I do not think this is a bad beer by any means and I would have no problem enjoying this again and promoting it to others. Out of the entire selection GP offers, this IS probably the weakest brew that I've tried to date.

355ml can, another cool gesture from my father in law on his visit to my house on the occaison of my toddler's birthday party.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with one very skinny finger of wanly foamy, and barely bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some streaky island cay lace around the glass as it quickly blows out of town.

It smells of bready and doughy, pale and wheaten malt, a subtle earthy yeastiness, white pepper and coriander spice, a bit of Teutonic gasohol astringency, and generic leafy, weedy, and grassy noble hop bitters. The taste is more rather doughy and cereal-forward maltiness, a somewhat sharp yeasty thing, muddled table-top spice measures, and a still hard to really get a bead on leafy, earthy, and weedy hoppiness.

The bubbles are damned near DOA in their barely palpable frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, surprisingly, nothing here really possessing the northern cojones to mess around, yo? It finishes well off-dry, the general breakfast cereal sweetness ruling the weirdly waning day.

Overall, this is another plain and starter-version iteration of the style - nothing particularly wrong with it, of course, but too generalized and pithy to be deemed worthy of mention in the same breath as the original Vaterland progenitors, ja? Anyways, I can appreciate the big cereal component, in the sense of the titular subtext - ride the combine, ride the combine indeed.
