Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a slightly cloudy, pale yellow beer with no head, carbonation was almost non-existent. Aroma was a light citrus / banana, typical with the style. Carbonation was crisp, mouthfeel light, somewhat watery. Not much in the way of flavor, slightly sweet, but not much else. Some slight citrus notes on the palate, but otherwise kind of blah. Aftertaste is medicinal and slightly bitter. If you think you will find a decent weizen in this Looking Glass, keep looking...

12 oz bottle courtesy of the singles self at Binny’s (Orland Park, IL). Pours an unappetizing yellowish hazy mess with a small white head that quickly dissipates. Aromas have a solid banana estery base with a touch of light somber lemony citrus, which gave me a little promise. However, it wasn’t in the cards for this brew. Taste is much less welcoming, mostly bland wheat ale with some citrus and banana notes, a light body that is void of real flavor profile, and a decent refreshing finish. If you are looking for a refreshing quenching watery brew that isn’t a light macro, this is it. However, I did not like this.

Okay this is the exception that proves the Looking Glass rule. Perhaps because it is a blonde, but just the wrong combination of ingredients. The aftertastes is of soap.

Mottled, golden yellow pour with a thin, filmy head and cool bands of lacing like the rings around Saturn. Musty banana aroma with a touch of vanilla. Medium-light body with a watery finish. Fruity flavor with a floral aspect. Mild banana with some spices. Seems like a cross between a Hefe and a Witbier. Decent, but lacks some character

Bottle. Poured a clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma contains banana. Flavor is banana and clove with a hint of citrus. Not my favorite type of beer, but a decent representation.

Pale gold with a very small white head and some lacings. Taste is lemon grass with some sourness. Somewhat astringent on the tongue. Very minor bitter in the finish. It is an OK wheat beer. Cool name.

Had it on bottle as well as from tap. Drunk at the beer festival at boulder. A taste of bannana is there in.

12oz bottle. Pours light hazy yellow gold with white head. Aroma is of clove and banana with a touch of lemon. Flavor is light and crisp with banana and clove with some citrus. I wonder why some brewers think they need to make this type of beer. The last thing I want to taste in a beer is banana and clove. Not horrible but wish I would have spent my money elsewhere.
