bottle-made my way though a 6pk in about a weeks time. Pours dark hazy amber/copper with a foamy sudsy off-white head. nose is big banana-ripe peals, estery yeast twang, earthy spice, and a hint of squash. Nose is pretty decent I must say-bold for such a low ABV brew. I see they are trying to copy Schalfly as another MO Dunkelweizen. Interesting.... flavors are mostly banana, but not as fragrant and fresh as the aroma suggests-some unpleasant metallicness goes along as well. Body is very nice-medium carbonation with a fluffy feal on the toungue. finish is metallic, very copper-esqe, which is unpleasant. not bad but could be better, but this could be good with a meal or something. <br />Earlier Rating: 10/9/2006 Total Score: 3.2<br />12 oz experimental bottle sampled at the Augusta bottoms beerfest alongside vyvvy. hazy copper hue with a fizzy off-white haed. nose of dusty esters, light banana, clove. banana dominates the flavors with a touch of light spice. body suffers from prickly carbonation and a light body. However, this could be a definate session beer for me, especially if they do release it in december.

Weird stuff. I was not expecting a weizen. Nothing on the label suggested that it was such. Anyway, pours a rich, very deep copper with a weak head that soon vanishes. Aroma gives up standard weizen aromas of citrus, clove, banana and bubblegum. Flavor is also basically weizen with a hint of the darker malts of a "dunkel" but not a lot. Citrus tartness is a bit overwhelming. Not quite in balance, but overall pretty adequate.

Nov 29, 2008 Thanks to the powers that be for bringing Dark cloudy brown in color. Thick foamy head. Yeasty aroma from the get go coupled with a yeasty malty flavor. Not too bad of a brew but nothing too exiting either.

Nov 21, 2008 Cloudy and reddish orange in color. Has a light yeast aroma and a supple spicing/acidic background. Hazy, very drinkable, and a little sweet on the finish. Mixed palate -- sweet/bitter/fruit/malt -- all jumbled up on the tongue.

Nov 16, 2008 Pours brown in color with no head forming on the pour. A bit of light peaks through the edges and adds a reddish tone. Smell is all roasted malts.
There is a definite spice and lemon flavor going on in the taste. Characteristics and flavor closely resembling a wit. Decent twist on the style. However with the flavors, I’m expecting something very light, crisp and refreshing.
Another uninspiring beer.
