Pint at Earl's. Reviewed from notes.

Pours a bright, hazy yellow with two fingers of rocky white head that leaves sheets of rolling cloud formation lace as it recedes.

Smells of rising bread dough, lemon and orange zest, dusted black pepper, cloves and flowery, grassy hops.

Tastes of bready wheat malt, more juicy citrus, peppery spice and floral hops. More pepper sliding in at the end.

Feels light and soft. Light bodied with creamy carbonation. Finishes off-dry.

Verdict: Highly recommended. Went very well with fish and chips.

500ml glass at Biera - I guess that they have finally dialed this wheat beer in, eh?

This beer appears a rather hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with two zaftig fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few instances of erupting Hawaiian volcano lace around the glass as it quickly sinks out of sight.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, a lesser grainy wheatiness, damp banana chips, faint pink bubblegum, subtle earthy spice, some ethereal bland yeastiness, and very tame leafy, herbal, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, more second-class citizen wheaten notes, thin banana pudding, a still hard to pick out spiciness, pleasantly serene estery yeast, and more understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt and fading banana keeping the lights on just a bit longer.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of an old-school, day-drinking style, and not the catch-all one currently listed on this site. Anyways, totally worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of Hefeweizens, but made locally by capable hands.
