Jun 11, 2007 Scents of banana and wheat. A crisp, citrus? tingle lingers throughout the finish. A lighter bodied offering which proves to be a refreshing example of a German wheat beer.

Jun 2, 2007 Very pleasant wheaty aroma with banana and lemon notes. It pours a cloudy straw colour with a decent white head. There’s a noticeable coriander flavour that makes me think of a wit, but the overal flavour doesn’t carry through what the aroma promises. Very smooth on the palate with medium carbonation.

Jun 2, 2007 On tap at Mpar Room in Chicago. A well done hefe. I put Ayinger, Schneider, and Weihenstephaner at the top of good German hefes. They are all similar-- maybe just different yeasts strains give each one a slightly different flavor? Nice on a summer day.

May 31, 2007 Bottle from Monster Beverage in Glassboro. Hazy goldenrod pour supporting a hefe-worthy tall white head. Plenty of thick lacing. Strong clove, banana and yeast on the nose. Same flavors follow from the glass with a little lemon, apple and corriander. Light but not thin texture and a wondefully crisp dry finish. Nothing extraordinary but still a very good traditional German hefe.

May 27, 2007 16.9 oz. bottle. Strong, yeasty, classic hefeweizen aroma: orange, lemon, bubblegum, cinnamon. Smells great! Pours a cloudy gold with a large amount of white head and a small amount of suspended particulate. Seems to be even cloudier than a typical hefeweizen. Produces limited lacing. Flavor of bubblegum and skittles as well as sour citrus. Disappointing lack of complexity given the wonderful aroma. Tart. There is a slight touch of bitterness that I would not expect from a hefeweizen in the finish. Little aftertaste. Light to medium body. Lively in the palate. Easy to drink. A good example of a style that is perfect for a sunny late spring or summer day.

May 25, 2007 Deep golden color, hazy but not quite cloudy, good initial head that dissipates quickly, lasting carbonation. aroma is spice/banana. Flavor retains the spice and banana notes, and adds citrus, more tart than bitter. Very good overall for a wheat beer.
