Is this actually a new beer, or just a relabel?
We picked some up and it doesnt taste or look anything like a weissbeer....

Probably a re-label of their Granary Wheat. Here's the description from their website:
"A select combination of malted wheat and barley lend this ale a light aroma with a hint of citrus, giving it a tart and refreshing palate. A light hopping makes this a refreshing summer beer. Granary wheat is bottled both as a filtered (North American) and unfiltered (European) form. Trafalgar releases the beer in the early spring and makes it available until late in the fall."

I asked if the white oak weissbier was regular Trafalgar weiss and was told it was made specifically for this one off project...Can't say for sure if it tasted different from the Trafalgar weissbier as I have not sampled that yet.

I believe it's supposed to be a Kristalweizen. I'm going to assume that the bottle I tried was off for some reason, because there was virtually zero head or any carbonation for that matter.

Despite what pootz was told previously, I've received word from a Trafalgar rep that the White Oak Weisse is a rebrand of the Granary Wheat.
They told me this when I enquired about buying some bottles of both, so it seems unlikely that this would be incorrect info. After all, if they told me they were different, they would've had double the sales.
