12 oz bottle. Pours a clear yellow body with a one finger fizzy white head. Fairly thick wheat malt nose, a little hay and bready malt as well. A light floral and yeasty note. The flavor’s a bit sweet for the style with fluffy yeast, tropical fruits, and some perfumy hops on the back end. A little clingy and heavy for me, with a good bit of fizzy carbonation. OK I guess, but not something I’d seek out. Simple.

OK but nothing great. Aroma of bread. Grassy taste with a metallic tang to it. A little watery.

Draft. Pours a clear gold with a creamy off-white head. Banana, wheat, and a bit of clove in the nose. Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel. Banana, wheat, and light phenolic notes on a light palate. Medium-short finish. Mild and refreshing, but nothing mind blowing.

Yeasty nose full of cracked wheat and cherry undertones. Dingy gold, thin head. Grassy wheat flavor. Celery finish. Refreshing and pleasantly bitter, but not a good kristal.

Bottle courtesy of dkachur. Pours gold with a generous white head. Smells of wheat, citrus, bubblegum, some grass and hay. Tastes lightly tarte and bitter with a nice citrussy finish.

draft- Banana flavors dominate, and are definitely there in the aroma- a nicely done brew that really does not distinguish itself too much from the rest in its class.

A second take from a full bottle, having reviewed it initially from a very small serving: A clean looking, light golden blonde. Head retains alright, not a lot of lacing. Malts, cloves, sweetgrass. Some bubblegum aromas that float around quite nicely. Bubblegum, clove, and a grassiness. Banana as it approaches the finish, but quite mild. A touch of bitterness towards the finish that seems a little out of place, but still a decent experience overall. A little sticky, but not so much as to really damper the experience. As it gets warmer, this has a little more of a draw, and I can see myself having it a few times over the summer. It may start to seem a little bit thick after a few, though.

12 oz bottle courtesy of dkachur. Pours a translucent copper color with a small white head. The aroma is classic wheat with a bit of biscuit. The flavor is light with banana, berries, and almonds. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is long and sweet with a slight metallic astringency. Overall: A very tasty beer. Thanks Dan.
