Nov 1, 2008 Hazy golden in color with a medium large off white head. Aroma of banana, spice, light tart wheat and bready yeast. Taste is banana- on the lighter side of the style, some mild citrus, spices, bready yeast, tart wheat. Light to medium bodied with prickly carbonation. Finishes lightly tart. Nice hefe.

Oct 29, 2008 Bottle. It’s hazy and yellow-golden in the glass, topped by an acceptable white head. Really nice aroma with banana and cloves in an almost heavenly blend. In the back there’s some citrusy sourness. The flavor follows the same pattern, but adds a yeasty twist and a nice bitterness towards the finish. A bit thin on the body, and also maybe a bit too effervescent, at least if you want to drink a lot of it. A really nice hefeweizen. (080829)

Sep 30, 2008 500 ml bottle purchased at Beertopia in Omaha, Nebraska. Pour is slightly hazed yellow golden with a ton of carbonation bubbles. As the remainder of the bottle is poured, the beer is decidedly cloudier. There is a billowing 3 to 4 inch white head that crackles and pops as it falls, leaving behind a decent amount of lacing. Aroma is ripe sweet bananas, fresh cut hay and grainy wheat. Nice, soft, fresh nose. Also some nice floral aroma. Taste is the wheat, fresh and full, along with the banana and some clove taste that was not present initially in the nose. It all melds together quite nicely, and really typifies a solid German Hefe. Also some citrus present, which comes across with a really delicate sweetness that complements and accents the fresh grain and wheat. Palate is medium, fair amount of carbonation and a brief, clean finish. This was a nice one.

Sep 29, 2008 Hazy yellow body with a finger sized white head. Bananas and hate in the aroma. Flavor is annoyingly flat, but what there is is sweet like a banana chip with hints of wheat and yeast. It definitely doesn’t feel as carbonated as the standard hefeweizen, which troubles me mildly. Overall, an okay beer though.

Sep 25, 2008 Pours a light cloudy yellow with a active white head. Aroma of citrus and wheat. Flavor is yeast, wheat, and a touch of banana. The carbonation is very active and tingly on the tongue. Good refreshing hefe.
