This was a really weak example of this style, and I had higher hopes for this, but I was disappointed. Overly yeasty and spicy, with some overpowering flavors, and a bit too much of a perfumey aroma, and the rest of this is just left in a bland state of watered down flavors.

Aug 20, 2008 Bottle (Dank an Jonas !): Cloudy, golden to orangey coloured, bigger, slowly collapsing white fluffy head; light to moderate fruity-sourish nose (like cider) with a light wheaty phenolic background; moderate sweetish-sourish flavour, quite light bodied, soft MF; short sweetish-lemony finish. O.K. ............

Jul 10, 2008 (bottle) Cloudy, murky golden colour with a medium-sized, non-persistent frothy white head. Yeasty and moderately sweet wheat-malty aroma with a distinctive apple-fruity note, accompanied by apricot and banana. Medium-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a rather soft carbonation. Yeasty and wheat-malty, fruit-accented taste with notes of ripe red apples and banana; medium-dry, sweet and minimal bitter finish with restrained phenolic spices. Good and likeable Hefeweizen (09.07.08).

Jun 24, 2008 Bottle. Milky yellow, creamy head. Apple aroma, almost like a Apfelweisse. Light to medium body, fresh apple and banana flavor, light spice, relatively quick finish. Good on a hot summer night.

Jun 8, 2008 .5L bottle from Hollingshead Deli; Nose of bananas, cloves, but not real estery; very liughtly hazy pale brown with a large, light tan head; flavor is peppery, grainy, with background light apple fruitiness. Not a great hefe!

Jun 5, 2008 Good, but just short of being great. Pretty textbook in my opinion. Clove and bubblegum nose, with just a hint of spicy mustard seed. Grainy toasted cereal maltiness, almost chewy, a little too much effervescence, but still highly drinkable, just out of order in a couple of areas.
