Feb 9, 2006 Fruit (mostly banana) notes. Healthy head of micro-bubbles that persists. Nice light golden appearance with swirling yeast. Light bodied and a little flat with vanilla notes that linger.

Feb 7, 2006 I enjoyed this hefe quite a bit. It seems to balance its fruity banana and orange-esque flavors well with spices with no element overpowering the other. I do prefer hefes with more of a quick and a drier mouthfeel though.

Jan 31, 2006 Hazed gold, thick rocky white head. Nice soft nose of lemon, banana and pear, and lesser undercurrents of vanilla, white bread, and hints of wheat. Flavor is similar with light citrus, wheaty, and grassy tones up front, light fruity spice in the middle, and a very faint bitterness rounding this off. Light bodied, fizzy carbonation, mild, drying citric finish. Good hefe for hot summer day in January. Thats right damn it, the 6th warmest January on record in Baltimore. Someone please send me some Siberian air so I can salvage my ski season!!

Jan 26, 2006 Updated: Aug 6, 2007Pours a hazed tawny color w/ a full, semi creamy froth. Good hangtime. Aroma is brisk w/ mild notes of banana bread. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. This one tastes more like banana bread, has a crisp earthiness and a mild fruity character. The finish is slightly tart w/ an acidic bittering.

Jan 24, 2006 The aroma is a model of what a German Hefe should be. It has bananas, spice, incense, sour fruit, and wheat. The appearance is a hazy gold with a large head. The flavor is malty and fruity with an emphasis on bananas and citrus. There are also robust bitter and sour elements as well. The palate is typical of the style. The aftertaste is bread like and a little sweet but fairly dry for a Hefe.

Jan 21, 2006 Foggy, yellow. Dense, billowing white head transforms to swiss cheese before it settles. Aroma is wheat, yeast, lightly fruity. Same flavor, a bit of banana stands out. Simple but good. Wheasty finish and aftertaste. Medium, creamy body with refreshing carbonation. Aside from the timid aroma, an excellent wheat.

Jan 19, 2006 500 ml bottle. Hazy yellow as expected. Large head that lingered. Some banana and bubblegum in the flavor, but not as much as I had expected. A solid but not spectacular Hefe.

Jan 17, 2006 Wasn’t crazy about this one. Did not like the flavors of bubblegum and heavy yeast.
