650ml bottle - a 'golden Hefeweizen'. That is all. Oh, wait, there's more - to wit:

This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves a few specks of remote islet lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, a lesser edgy wheatiness, Ritz crackers, banana chips, a hint of earthy spiciness, and very tame leafy, herbal, and floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, wet Wheat Thins, underripe banana peel, ephemeral black peppercorn/clove spice, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly restrained in its lackluster frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really a cause for concern at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt and watery banana essences presiding.

Overall - this comes across as a kind of wan version of the style, and it's not even all that 'golden', for chrissake! Not a bad brew, per se, but one more for drinkin', and not contemplatin', methinks.
