650ml bomber ( thanks Noxious) Pour puts a very pale cloudy ale in my weiss glass. Decent puffy cap, retention not too good. Fair carbonating. Nose is sweet, citrusy, some very light fruits, hints of spice, a bit of mustiness. No great wafts of bubble gum or bananas and cloves here, just light subtle impressions like earthy juicy fruit gum. Medium-light bodied with a decent malt spine, tart dusty mouth feel from the wheat. A more mellow rounded character than its sharply defined European name sake. Starts sweet and fluous with light spice notes ( some clove and cinnamon) then the palate drys out as a light citrusy decernment takes over leading to the finish which is semi dry and full of wonderful dry biscuit tastes which carry into an after taste. Not a replica of the Bavarian Hefeweiss but a nice drinkable, rounded and malty Canadian version...I could session with this on tap any day.

Served on tap with lunch at the brewpub, presented in Bushwakker pint glass, with a wedge of lemon. Yellowish (light straw) in color, cloudy like you expect from an unfiltered wheat. Short white head, but with good stablity and leaves some nice lace. The smell has some citrus, but there is a clear banana aroma. The flavor has lots of citrus. Well balanced and refreshing. Light taste but still very complex. Very nice interpretation, so we had to buy a 2 litre bottle to take home.
