8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. The name is Latin for 'and therefore we drink' - I guess that I should know, eh?

This beer appears a murky, medium bronzed amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and faintly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few instances of weakly streaky lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, banana pudding, cloves, a subtle earthy yeastiness, and very tame leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel and wheat malt, damp banana chips, some muddled earthy spiciness, estery yeast, and more well-understated herbal, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its structurally supportive frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of ruckus at this point in the process. It finishes trending dry, the malt starting to write its retirement memoirs.

Overall - this comes across as a dutifully rendered version of the style, as if perhaps Gunther might have weighed in on the brewing process. At any rate, worthy of checking out for fans of strong German wheat lagers, of all stripes.
