Slack honeyed malt sulk, listless grain-toasted snub, and grapefruit-soured cherry-berry marmalade skulk leave weak off-dry honey finish exposed. Further tasting reveals more prominent red grapefruit tang undercut by danker sucrose plethora.

Uncanny Mexican-bred German Weiss (with washed out sour wheat aroma) gathers floral hop pizzazz, lemon-limed clove spicing and cotton-candied sugar sweetness before losing citric zest by ester-y finish. Just as Unibroue brought Belgian brewing practices to remote Canada, this South of the Border brew takes a chance at Bavarian styling and nearly succeeds.

Soapy honeyed wheat brew hides musty strawberry tartness beneath tempting sour lemon tang and fizzy carbolic astringency. Dwindling fruit fragility constricts earthen graining and tart berry revival suffers from metallic acidity. ’09 re-tasting procured vanilla strawberry ice cream sweetness and raised overall rating.

A fruity windfall scatters lemon-peeled orange-peach-tangerine tang above soft floral hop caress of coppery moderation. Mild pepper-spiced bitterness adjoins herbal eucalyptus-ginger twinge nuzzling cracked wheat base. Brewery defunct: 2010.

Slick golden medium body places damning cabbage waft beside raw honeyed parch and faded grapefruit tang. Peppery hop fizz and dank wheat backbone fail, befuddling terribly cloy malt finish in its wake.

Upsetting acidic astringency and flaccid wheat pretense given decent lemon-lime fizzed insistence, but barren flowery hop blandness kills the deal.

Slight soured citric wheat gets keen biscuit-y jab, but undecided sticky butterscotch malting slips into metallic murk.

Tangy berry-cherry-mango liveliness enhances creamy honey dipped swirl as fizzy soda pop sway brings sugary lollipop illusion to busy midst. Diminutive floral hop bouquet stays setback.

Turbid pale honey hue matches pliable chaffed wheat balm, but reticent lemon-lime tang and bland spicing mire leisurely dry-hopped finish, sterilizing already mushy nature. Not on par with better North Coast brews.

Soft unfiltered yellow-hazed American wheat ale brings tart banana breading to dry-hopped clove-coriander spicing, honeyed wafer backdrop, and white peppered hop tingle. Sour-candied lemondrop tartness seeps into mild banana-clove finish. But unassuming nature causes slight deficit.

Clear, straw-hued, billowy white-headed Belgian ‘wit’ reaches sour yellow-fruited wheat plateau before unripe banana-gourd climax tempts middling lemony coriander-clove finish meagerly donning candied orange tartness. Fruit-spiced fodder suits lighthearted drinkers.

True blue collar dark amber blonde ale pits raw wheat-maize earthiness against astringent honey bittering and sour grape esters, getting casually usurped by dry grassy finish. Toasted hop coarseness thickens adequate session beer.
