3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice golden rich coloured body. Mild malty scent with yeast and curacao coming out. Medium-bodied; Strong malty and wheat flavour with coriander seed and a tiny bit of spices noticeable. Aftertaste shows a bit of a body with some nuts too. Overall, a good hef - definitely one to sample at a festival! I sampled this six ounce sample from pseudo-draught at the Old Dominion 2005 Beer Festival on 24-June-2005 in Ashburn, Virginia.

Yellow like a weizen would be. Smell is bubblegum and banana. Taste adds clove, with a clovey aftertaste. Far better than what I’m used to tasting from american wheats.

Powerful sweet flavors... some yeast / citrus, but also others. Good cloudy, full appearance, light carbonation, clean finish. Nice Hefe... served at restaurant, but was a little too cold for this type of beer. Recommend as a good choice for this on tap.

Location: On tap at the Brew Pub, 9/5/09
Aroma: Lemony/citrus, banana, fairly typical hefe nose
Appearance: Hazy yellow pour, thin white head
Flavor: Malty and wheat flavor, spice (coriander)
Palate: Medium body, standard hefe mouthfeel
