Poured from the can into a wheat ale glass.
Really nice pour out of the can. Makes a nearly giant hefeweizen foamy rich head, large and billowing, but luckily doesn't and keeps to controlled measures. Still a big rich bright white head and fistful top is created. Quite a decent body too, slightly hazed but not terribly and a golden dark lemon and brown with ample amounts of carbonation. That head manages to stay for a bit too, with some ring like lacing. The beer has a real polished look to it, very nice.
Fruity and floral sensing on the nose, flirts a little bit with grass and maybe even a touch of yeast like sourness (not sure if that is intentional). Chewy sensing, also notes of waxy honey a bit too.
Palate is unexpected but in a good way. A very hop biting forward brew, with some real neat surprises. Chewy excellent wheaty body, with a mid palate hop forward in florals and green bitterness. Finishes with banana and some more pine like action, with good malt density. There's almost a candy like quality to this hinting of taffy but without the sweetness.
Pretty neat and unexpected for this brew, wasn't sure what direction it would go in, but the result is quite solid. This is quite hop bitter in that realm but in a good way, but if that's not your thing you may want to steer clear.
