Lakefront Wisconsinite

The Lakefront Brewery is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  This is a summer weiss beer made with 100% Wisconsin grown ingredients (even the yeast is an indigenous Wisconsin strain).  It is 4.2% ABV.

The beer pours `a cloudy yellow and golden in color.  There is a massive, white, foamy, meringue-like head.  The aroma is toasted wheat, lemony, and lots of estery, banana-like yeast.  The taste follows the aroma, very strong lemon, very sour, lots of banana.  It is like eating banana bread and drinking tart, barely sweetened lemonade at the same time.  Although well carbonated, it is a bit watery and thin in the mouth.  However, if you like weiss beers, it is definitely worth trying.
