I really like this ale brewed by Magnotta, but I wanted to get other opinions and hear what you guys thought of this one.

On tap I think it's pretty good and almost as good as Denison's. In bottle however it takes a nosedive in my opinion.

Are you saying that the Magnotta bottles are worse than the Denisons bottles? :D :D

Magnotta WW has a little more restrained character, bottled than does Paulaner - that said I find it very fine, and desirable in its quenching attributes. Hard to go wrong with it, or Paulaner (my usual choice.)

Depends on how you read that. That's not how I read it.

I didn't think that Denison's Weizen was bottled. Is it?

I've only had it (Wunder Weisse) once from the bottle, but was very underwhelmed. I found it much better on tap.

Cut off from what - using the apostrophe?

Magnotta Wunder Weisse on tap scored a solid third in the overall rankings, as well as mine, at the C'est What wheat beer tasting back in 2003:

Thanks for all the responses. I am considering adding this beer to our line up of almost all GTA craft Beers.
