Jul 7, 2008 Hazy banana yellow with a medium slowly dissipating white head. Aroma of banana, toasted malts, fruit, mild clove and yeast. Taste of banana, wheat, apple, clove and lemon. Mildly grainy body has a semi-sweet and dry finish that’s also a bit spicy. I’m a bit shocked they retired this one as it seems like a quality effort.

Apr 24, 2008 The aroma of wheat is evident in this one, but the taste is not there. Colour is dark golden, big full white head. Aroma is mild, not a lot of wheat, soft fruit. Taste is a little unbalanced, finishes tart. a little dissapointing.

Apr 1, 2008 Pours slightly cloudy and straw-colored with a thin white head. Aroma consists of yeast, banana, and spice. Up to this point, it’s much like other hefeweizens. It’s in the taste where it is different. The palate is a bit heavier than most hefeweizens and slightly oily. Malty and sweet describes the flavor with touches of banana, honey, and spice. Finishes clean. A great beer that is unfortunately retired.

Mar 16, 2008 Appearance: Pours a lightly hazy, coppery body with a tiny white head.
Smell: Mild aroma of wheat, yeast, maybe a touch of citrus. So light!
Taste: Flavor of malted wheat with a slight tanginess. Mildly sweet hint of honey. Banana, lemon, and spice present, but it’s all at rather muted levels. Finishes dry with some yeast lingering into the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Mild carbonation. Soft mouthfeel.
Drinkability: I could use a bit more carbonation, but overall it’s a pleasant hefe-lite weizen.
