greenhorn1 (359), Eugene, Oregon, USA May 9, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours the color of straw, thin head and super charged carbonation. Aroma is of wheat and lemon grass. Flavor has a mild spice with hints of banana and lemon. Light mouthfeel with a short hop bite. This beer is much better with preztels.

Nice example of a hefe this side of the pond. Nice head, very drinkable, only missing the sense of bubble gum. Perfect after a day "Trout Slaying". DrBayern (883), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Jun 25, 2008 12 oz. bottle on 6/25/08, brought to me by a friend from a recent trip to Montana. <P>Aroma - Starts with a little spiciness, fruity aromas follow, some graininess, and finally a little bubblegum.
Appearance - Clear yellow, medium white head that settles quickly.
Flavor - Fairly sweet up front, honey type flavors, then a slowly building soft bitterness sets in.
Palate - Light body, medium carbonation, faint stickiness, but a soft dry finish ultimately prevails.
Overall - Easy drinking, smooth, slightly sweet, could be a little cleaner and more tart for my tastes. ratman197 (2190), Arvada, Colorado, USA Jun 21, 2008 Bottle poured a hazy golden yellow with a small diminishing off white head. Aromas of wheat, lemon and a hint of yeast. Palate was light bodied and smooth with a slightly dry finish. Flavors of wheat, straw, light citrus and a hint of spice with a smooth lightly dry lightly bitter finish.
