| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 9, 2008 750ml. bottle. Cloudy golden/yellow color with a large white head. Initial sniff brought nothing but bubblegum. Additional whiffs brought out some clove and C-hops as well as a hint of banana. Flavor once again started out being dominated by bubblegum, which almost kept me from finishing my half of the bottle. After the first 4 or 5 sips, a bit of banana emerged, along with some nice hop bitterness. Very aggressive carbonation. Nice and thirst quenching since it was sampled on a hot 95 degree day. I am glad I didn’t stop after only a few ounces as this beer got much better the more I drank. dmac (1445), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 8, 2008 750 ml cork and caged bottle purchased at Spirits RB. Well after the Schneider-Brooklyner alcohol bomb I wasn’t expecting a lot. Well like lots of other ideas in my life I was way off. This is one fantastic beer. Aroma is excellent with a large citrus hop prescence, lively yeast, slight wheat bread, banana and slight spice, very nice. Medium bodied with lively carbonation and a great finish make this one refreshing brew. Flavor has lots of yeast, dough, tropical fruit and citrus. This is one very nice beer Mr. Oliver cheers well done Sir. Strykzone (1469), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 6, 2008 Thanks mcbackus. What a beautiful bottle! It makes for a great presentation. Pours a nice cloudy golden hue with a huge white head that just will not subside. Big musty aroma of clove, , and lemon. Some hop, as well. Like the aroma, the flavor is also big and distinct. It is full of yeast, earth, hop, tart fruit, and alcohol. The hop has the dry effect that provides a nice bite to the beer. This offers many of the best traits of a dry hopped APA mixed with the best hefe notes. It sends the palate all over the place hitting all the right spots. It arrives in the mouth as a hefe, jumps into a dry hopped APA, and finally dry bitterness cascades in. Delightful, interesting, and delicious. Drink4Satan (585), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 3, 2008 Pours a cloudy golden orange with a substantial off-white head that retains well. The banana-clove complex is paired beautifully with tropical citrus, aromatic yeast and hop resin in the nose. The flavour is crisp, yet robust and is ripe with wheat, clove, pear, mango and bitter, floral hop flavours. The hoppiness paired with the typical wheat flavours is very intriging. It finishes very dry with surprisingly long palate duration. It has a well matched medium body with effervescent carbonation. CaptBier (302), Birmingham, Alabama, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 3, 2008 Bottle. Muddy deep orange color with a nice white head. Malty and wheat sweet aroma with hoppy and yeasty citric notes. Wheat sweet flavor with a light caramel note along a hoppy fruitiness. Light dry and hoppy finish with a vague sweet note. Tastes like a homebrew. Rciesla (3600), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

Aroma/flavor is citrus; light pear and banana, some good spiciness clove, cinnamon. Very easy drinking and the 7.8abv blends in so well. Nice pick up. gearbike (414), West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 1, 2008 Golden yellow with small but long lasting head. Thin but in a good refreshing way. Spicy and bitter with a very dry finish. Perfect. mephisto (1144), Taiwan
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 1, 2008 a solid offering from brooklyn brewery; it is a wheat with aggressive hopping. the sweet floral aroma may mislead one to believe it’s an ipa, but the hint of wheat adds some intrigue into what might follow. the strong malt profile and the sweet fruity flavor blended well with the bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste. the lively carbonation, the mixture of banana and citrus, and the statement hopping; this weisse is an
uniquely delightful treat.
