17 oz. bottle into weizen glass, Crescent Moon Ale House, Omaha NE. Hazy but mostly clear brownish yellow orange; sizable fluffy off-white head that is mostly lasting with a thick, sliding lacing on the side of the glass. Lots of visible carbonation cascading up the glass. Ruby tones to the color in the light. Smells of sweat, orange peel, lemon zest, spices, bread and yeast. Same wheaty malt and creamy dark malt flavors as Aventinus with some orange and mango acidity. Somewhat biting carbonation at first, mellows after a while. Musty malt backbone gives great body, which is accented by barely noticable European hops with no bittering influence. Finish is malty and nicely acidic. This almost tastes "warm" and ciderish due to the spicy flavors: nutmeg, cinnamon, corriander, black peppercorn. Sour apple flavors lurk underneath everything as well. Wonderfully complex flavor; perfect crisp yet medium to full bodied mouthfeel. I liked it a lot.

From a 500 ml bottle purchased at "Keller’s IGA" in Cincinnati, Ohio - This one pours a straw-hued brew with a tall white head and the signature hefe aroma of bananas and cloves. Tastewise, it’s a great, true hefeweizen.

Huge delicious head that quickly dissipated. Cloudy copper color. Some yeast. Very sweet and fruity. A good dunkel. Beautiful looking and delicious.

Strong apricot, banana, and subtle clove bouquet. Very dingy gold color, thick off white head. Apricot and banana flavor, with a light lemon grass finish. Delicious, nicely tart, and refreshing. This is an outstanding wheat beer. It isn’t terribly dark for a dunkelweizen, but who cares? The taste rocks!

16.9 oz. bottle- Pours muddy orange with a nice white head, aroma is yeast and has a earthyness, just a very clean smelling beer. The flavor is a more malty weisse beer that still has the hefe chacacteristics, it is basically a German hefe with added caramel malts, very tasty. The aftertaste is very sweet like brown sugar, full bodied, creamy, carbonation is high, but not for the style. Good beer.
