porterhouse (1148), Alna, Maine, USA Mar 17, 2006 (500 ml bottle) Pours cloudy pale grayish yellow with a huge foamy white head. Aroma is wheaty, citrusy. Poor spotty lacing. Mouthfeel full, pretty smooth. Flavor is wheaty malt (with the glue-like flavor quality I associate with wheats) with a citrusy tang finish. Nice, refreshing. kseecs16 (865), Naperville, Illinois, USA Mar 13, 2006 Bottle. Poured a very cloudy gold with a thick foamy white head that left little lacing, but floated on the beer as a considerable head. A sour lemony smell veiled a more hidden yeasty sweetness in the background. The flavor is sweet and fruity with a citrus tang to it. The finish is mildly bitter that does not linger but leaves your mouth watering with its tartness. Crisp, clean, and refreshing, thoroughly enjoyable. ghorsche (48), Berkeley, California, USA Mar 8, 2006 500ml bottle. Poured murky pineapple gold into a footed pilsner glass with a rapidly diminishing 3-finger white head. Very nice color. The nose is almost all DMS with a little bit of sweet grain and a faind whiff of banana in the background. Sweet graininess at first sip immediately overcome by strong DMS. Medium-long finish with banana and sweetness, a little butter. Very refreshing with a crisp, lively mouthfiel. Thankfully, the DMS flavor fades rapidly after the first sip. Overall, not as good as Weihenstephaner but better than any other bottled hefeweizen I’ve yet tried. BitchesBrew (710), Berkeley, California, USA Mar 6, 2006 [bottle] Pours a golden yellow color. Head fades to a ring around the glass. Not bad, fruity, mildly spicy. Finishes nice and smooth. MissK (20), Cleveland Heights, Ohio, USA Mar 3, 2006 Nice fluffy head with a golden, cloudy body. Tasted fruit & citrus above everything, with it all being underlined by thick yeast/wheat taste. Very nice overall. core (19), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Feb 28, 2006 500 ml bottle. Floral aroma with some citrus and bananas. Flavor is bananas with a crisp citrus finish. Nice carbonated mouthfeel. Zeswaft (1000), Seattle, Washington, USA Feb 24, 2006 Updated: Aug 27, 2006I couldn’t really get into this. It seemed a little watery and lacking in flavor. A little sour and some banana and bubble gum but altogething not that great. JohnC (2230), Mission Viejo, California, USA Feb 17, 2006 I had this at a hefeweizen tasting at Bevmo.
Beautiful banana flavor with lemon notes along w/ clove spiciness in both the flavor and the nose. This is a very nice brew.
