Rating:7/10

Pale gold, clear with a decent frothy white head. Lots of bubbles heading south.

Nose: bit of spice(clove i think) and a hint of banana.

The clove/spice is secondary...., it's sweet and juicy upfront.... bugger me I can't quite pick it...

the wheat mixed with candy/bubblegum.

It is kinda creamy but with a little bite at the end. Fairly high carbonation.

Very drinkable, well balanced.

I really enjoy a wheat beer when I haven't had one for a while- a nice change.

7/10
