| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 23, 2009 16.9 ounce bottle - $3.29 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a dark, straw-colored body with a medium-sized, fluffy, white head.
Smell: Fragrant aroma smelling sweetly of banana juice, malted wheat, clove, vanilla, and a tiny bit of lemon pith.
Taste: Lightly tangy malted with a touch of honeyed sweetness. Spicy clove and nutmeg hits next, with tastes of banana, vanilla, and faintly tart citrus following in tow. Even a splash of pineapple and floral hints midway. Mild hops and accompanying bitterness. Slight touch of acidity. Finishes semi-dry and quite crisp with a lingering taste of grainy wheat bread.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Overall spritzy mouthfeel.
Drinkability: An altogether classic German hefeweizen which would probably be even better out in the hot summer sun. jebb12 (39), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 10, 2009 Sipped on this one while playing bocce with brickstoredave at Leon’s Full Service. Life is good...
Pours a very hazy golden yellow with a huge puffy white head that lasts for ages and leaves great lacing.
The aroma is classic hefe with a massive banana sweetness with only hints of spices in the background.
Taste follows the aroma and is, once again, textbook hefe with a huge bubblegum and banana sweetness with hints of lemony hops up front and spices in the finish.
The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with tons of carbonation and very smooth.
To call this one drinkable would be an understatement. It’s an exceptionally easy beer to drink and one of the best examples of the style I’ve had. Highly recommended!
