4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap from notes, Brooklyn @ Sierra. Pours a nice hazy cloudy golden color, nice fluffy white head. Aromas are banana and clove, pretty straight forward and clean. Speaking of clean, the palate is just that, some spices, but the flavors are light, some banana, but it works.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
GABF 2011. Hazy murky dark gold with a slight green tint, bubbly white head. Nice aroma of slightly acidic/sour light fruits like apple, green grape, apricot, with a subtle pale malt backbone. Taste is sour but not puckering at all. Nice and spritzy on the palate. Bright light fruit tones, some lemon zest, and sour wheat tones. Not a bad one!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Serving glass: Poured from tap into tulip.
Appearance: Hazy orange gold with nice head and some lacing.
Aroma: Wheat mostly, with some clove and spice.
Taste: Strong wheat malt base, with a spicy hop and clove finish. Banana is limited.
Palate: High carbonation, light body, dry finish. Crisp and refreshing.
Overall: The Hefe yeast is either muted or non existent, as this seems to be an American Wheat. Good, but would have preferred the esters. Not sure if this is a batch issue, as others have noticed a more pronounced, traditional Hefe yeast. Will try again if it appears again on tap near me (or if bottled again). Regardless, it is still enjoyable.
