on tap-pours an off white head and cloudy yellow color. Aroma is fruity, banana, wheat, some clove, creamy. Taste is banana, wheat, yeast, a bit thin. Minimum/no carbonation.

On tap at the BBW Brew Pub and listed as just ’Hefeweizen’. Poured a medium to deeper and cloudy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Served in a .5L Hefe glass with a slice of lemon. Aromas of lemons, bananas, cloves, ’sweaty’ wheat and a trace of bubble gum. Tastes of citrus, lighter bananas, and lighter cloves. Thirst quenching on this hot day.

Tap. Yellow cloudy color. Aroma is of lemon and banana. Odd mix that just wasn’t quite balanced. The spice flavors were present but kind of weak.

On tap at the brewpub, July 2006. Pale and cloudy. Light, clean and lemony. Subtle spice and apple notes also come through on the palate. No great depth of flavour but refreshing enough. OK, but not very German in style - I struggled to get any banana or cloves to speak of. More Belgian Wit if anything.

Pours a cloudy darker golden with a very small bubbly white head that went away very quickly. Served at the brewpub with a slice of lemon. Aroma of clove, lemon, yeast and banana. Flavor of banana, clove, wheat as well as some...you guessed it lemon. I have much better Hefes.
