maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 2, 2006 Cloudy orange color with a creamy white head. Sweet fruit and banana aroma. Sweet wheat and banana flavor. jzzbassman (838), New Albany, Mississippi, USA Jun 25, 2006 For me to give a hefe a score like this says a lot, as I really never like them. While this still has the clove and banana thing that I don’t dig, great aroma with a bit of lemon in the front without being overly sweet make this outstanding. kevinphish (31), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 25, 2006 Wonderful clove, lemon, banana, yeast, and wheat aromas flowing out of the pillowy, thick white head. The flavor follows suit, with herbal clove and yeasty wheat, that goes down all to easy, with a refreshing, clean mouthfeel.. A classic example of the style, and delicious on a hot sunny day! blksilvia97 (5), USA does not count Jun 23, 2006 Wonderful Hefe beer. Very creamy with heavy yeast taste. Lightly carbonated and very easy to drink....hints of wheat, banana, and small amounts of honey were noticed. Had a large, fluffy head. This beer is by far one of the best! buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Jun 22, 2006 This is a real nice wheat beer. Pours hazy golden color with a large lasting head. A good crisp sharp taste. Brigadier (1220), Chagrin Falls, Ohio, USA Jun 19, 2006 Updated: Oct 4, 2006500 ml bottle
At just around $2.50, this was one of the better deals for a quality beer I have seen around. It almost rivals Capital’s Kloster Weizen for a favorite, except that I can get the latter fresher. Still, this one might just be a close second on price and quality.
Aroma / Appearance - Hints of banana, oatmeal, wheat, fruit and honey greeted my eager nose. The cloudy nectarine colored body had a rich two-finger head with active carbonation bubbling to the top. The pleasing looking brew looked like it was going to fit the bill after a long day outside in 90 degree temperatures.
Flavor / Palate - Creamy ripe bananas were the first thing to hit my taste buds. Muted underneath that was a combination of wheat, oats and a mild bitterness that hit the back of the mouth. A sweet, pleasant hoppiness followed not too long afterwards. The sweet banana taste dominated my impressions but it was not so strong as to mask everything else. This was solid all the way through to the end of the glass. It might become a nice summer drinker, especially at the price Woodman’s charges for it. Pick it up to get a feel for a well done hefeweizen. henrikb (1298), Aarhus, Denmark Jun 10, 2006 Beautiful with big bubbled white head; Malt, soap perfect except for a little metal; Perfect body except from being a bit to creamy; Perfect finish except begin a bit malty, buttery. Saarlander (1577), Saarlouis, Germany Jun 9, 2006 Nice Banana to this one,hints of spice, but Banana dominates, some yeast. very easy drinking, great flavor.
