Handwritten notes: I don't know, Sammy. You say lemon but all I taste is banana. I like hefes once in a while to act as a sort of beer sorbet, clearing the palate of power-hungry IPAs and stouts. I'm not sure about this influx of white/wheat beers. I'm sure as hell not thinking about wheat ale in the shower on Monday morning. IPA maybe, but not wheat ale. It's like Mountain Dew making all these crazy flavours, being branded as exciting and new. So what? I'm not going to drink any of that crap.
