Sep 23, 2007 Draft @ HDG. Pours foamy with a big, white head. Aroma first is fresh Cascades with a bready back. Right before the liquid hits your mouth, the you get slapped with a mouthful of fresh hops. A really good thing. The body is medium with mellow banana and cinnamon. Finishes even more hoppy with a bit of an abv buzz. Better than the bottle by far (IMHO).

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Medium sized white fizzy head with good retention, cloudy straw body, and a ring of lacing. The aroma is sweet, clove, banana, spicy, citrus hops. The flavor is sweet, clove, spicy, banana, mango, citrus hops, and mildly bitter. The mouthfeel is tingly and this is a medium bodied beer. Overall, a very balanced aroma/flavor, worthy of a try, and a beer I would drink again. More please!

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle - 750mL corked and caged. Pricey bottle as well - a hefty $15! Golden auburn pour. Tall, dense, sticky white head. Nose is hoppy with fresh hop notes, pine, wheat, banana, bubblegum, and citrus. Lots of yeast as well. Taste is hoppy but wheaty and yeasty with softer banana, stronger lemon and citrus notes, spices, lighter candy, hint of bubblegum, and some sweet malt notes. Body is light-medium to medium with moderate carbonation. Some dryness and a lingering bitterness to this one. The finish draws out the citrus and hops much more than a standard weizen bock. Lots of yeast, wheat, pine, citrus, candy, sweet malts, hint of toffee, spices and lemon peel. Very tasty!

Oct 29, 2007 Draft at Tyler’s in Durham, NC. Poured an attractive cloudy yellow color. Head was thick and white with good retention. A uniform sheet of lace coated the glass all the way to the bottom of the glass. Aroma was of banana, clove, and citrus zest. Tasted of orange marmalade, banana, clove, and flower blossoms. Wow, this was even better than the bottled version brewed in Germany. Great beer.

Oct 28, 2007 Growler via trade with Degarth. Many thanks Joe, happy to try the Schneider bottled and now this draft only or growler too. Lost some carbonation in transit. Pours cloudy yellow orange with some bubbles for a head. Nose is intense beautifal banana hops, and some pineapple. Taste is hoppy and also wheaty and full of fruit salad fruit, banana and pineapple and all kinds of other things. Tasty and complex but feels a little messy like some flavors are battling with others. Overall tasty and different. Somehow neglected to mention the big spicy notes, clove is there and lots of other stuff. Mellows as you drink it, but still...
