Tried at the Black Raven tap house in Redmond. Light in color can definitely taste the subtle clove taste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

riversideAK (5404) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - FEB 18, 2013
Soft wheat malt, a little bread and cereal grain as well as lemon and soft german hefe yeast. Pours golden, thin white head. Flavors of wheat malt, cereal grains, a hint of honey and moderate bavarian hefe yeast, light banana and clovey notes. Nice carbonation, crisp and bright finish. I like this one.

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2012 Growler @ Armin’s house, courtesy of Azurescens. Thanks Dan! Clear golden appearance with a fluffy, white head. Pretty spicy, light clove, sort of husky wheat aroma. Well carbonated. Pretty rich bready, spicydull, grainy wheat flavor with notes of lemon and honey and a bit of tartness. Some acidity from the carbonation. Easy drinking and a nice summer beer.

Pour out of growler, thanks Aaron! Pour is clear yellow with creamy white head, aroma brought notes of slight sweaty socks, banana and slight wheat, hints of clove, touch of vanilla, grainy notes as well. Taste is nice sweet biscuit, vanilla, hints of sweet fruity notes, slight banana, touch of spice but fairly muted, finishing fairly sweet but dries out well. This is definitely tasty.

Dogbrick (5984) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - APR 8, 2012
Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a clear yellow-gold color with a medium thin white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat and fruit. Light body with flavors of sweet wheat, yeast and fruit. The finish is short and sweet with a yeast aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Jkripp (141) - Washington, USA - FEB 13, 2011
Sunthief is unfiltered and golden yellow in color. The aroma smells much like bananas and wheat. The taste is similar with a main flavor of honey and a background in hops.

I sat down in this traditional tap room and was pretty impressed. was a little crowded so by the time I missed the actual poor. By the time I got seated it settled in and was a nice favlorful beer.

Pours a clear piss yellow. Tastes primarilly of a German hefeweizen yeast ending in cloves and banana, with hints of wheat along the way.
