May 12, 2008 Hazy golden amber body with a medium frothy white head. Light clove aroma with some floral and citrus hops and a bit more spice. Clove flavor, light banana, light spice, and citrus and floral hops. Medium body with moderately high carbonation and a sharp spicy bite in the end.

May 12, 2008 Bottle - RFD. Hazed bright gold, fluffy white head. Lemon meringue and honeyed banana nose rides layers of grassy citrus and notes of spiced pine. Smooth spicy clove and yeasty banana flavors balance on big citric piney hop tones. Just great integration between the styles. Full bodied, soft carbonation, drying, fruity hop finish. This brew is rockin it hard! Great work here...

May 11, 2008 750 ml bottle. Poured a cloudy yellow/orange with a huge fluffy head. Aroma of citrus fruits and hops. Flavor was wheat, grains, citrus, spice and bittering hops. Nice combination of yeast and hops with the wheat to create a very drinkable brew. Would be real nice on a warm, sunny afternoon.

May 11, 2008 750 ml bottle. I’ve been looking forward to this beer for a while. Pours cloudy orange with a fluffy white head. Great aroma of superfresh hops, imparting a spicy, earthy, citrusy aroma in addition to the more traditional bread and banana notes. Taste is similar, with really fresh hop character and a distincitive clove/spice quality. Excellent beer. Will definitely have again.

May 10, 2008 22 oz. bomber on 5/10/2008. Hazy deep gold body under a creamy, billowing white head that lasts and lasts, leaving thick, sticky lace - phenomenal looking. Wonderful aroma that has the characteristics of a German wheat with the banana and clove esters underneath and the citrus qualities of the Amarillo hops on top, a unique aroma that works well.
Medium body and carbonation, not overly effervescent as I expected after I saw the pour. Very smooth, almost creamy, yet clean and lightly dry. on the palate.
A solid, light malty base supports a balanced, soft grapefruit bitterness that extends into a long dry finish. This is just excellent in all respects.
