| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 25, 2009 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. keepersj12 (790), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 3, 2009 OK but nothing great. Aroma of bread. Grassy taste with a metallic tang to it. A little watery. Elwood (677), Leesburg, Virginia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 13, 2009 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. obguthr (1012), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 1/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 4, 2009 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. Cletus (5052), Connecticut, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 16, 2008 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. hopson (594), Williamsville, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 6, 2008 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.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 29, 2008 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.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 4, 2008 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.
