Thanks to beerdrenched for picking this up for me. Pours slightly hazy golden with a nice sized white head. Aroma has lots of banana and cloves. Medium bodied with light carbonation that resides between soft and fizzy. Taste starts with rich wheat malt with natural tasting sweetness, very smooth tasting. Then the banana flavoring starts coming through which its own richness and then it just stays around. Bits of clove are in here & touches of huskiness on the finish. Excellent Hefe.

12 oz bottle from ClarkVV. Pours a flat golden color with no head. (possibly due to this not being the freshest batch according to clark) Nose is banana and light peppery coriander spice. Palate is thin and smooth. Flavors of coriander and pepper with shades of banana in the backround. A nice crisp finish.

This pours a hazy gold color with a fizzy head somewhat small for the style. The aroma is wheat, banana, and clove with a twist of lemon. The lemon persists a bit too strongly in the flavor making for a tart, nearly sour finish.

Pours a hazy gold color with little head.. Aroma of bananas, clove, and a bit of spice, almost faintly peppary, Finish is a bit abrasive, somewhat tart which is a shame as the rest makes for a pretty damn good hefeweizen.

Golden pour with some steady carbonation. Not surprisingly, the aroma was full of banana peel and had a hint of lemon. Maybe it was the yellow label fooling me. Nah! Definite banana notes in there. The medium body had some bready texture, but the finish was merely yeasty and not terribly interesting. Probably wouldn’t try this again, though, it might be worth another shot this summer with a change of environment.

Cloudy dark gold light copper. Smooth and creamy palate. Aroma is wheaty and slightly fruity. Flavor is lemony sour and a little hoppy. Not the best german hefe I’ve ever had.

Bottled. Poured surprisingly clear with only wisps of white head. Nose was full, and consisted of bananas and bubblegum... with some wheat and other light fruits. Really enjoyed the flavors... lemony wheat, bananas, and lighter berries. Tingly and crisp mouthfeel.. lighter-bodied. Fruits and hay on the refreshing finish. Good stuff!

12 oz bottle

Poured into my glass with a huge blossoming white head, leaving only a minute amount of liquid. It slowly began to recede until there was about a two-finger head left. The body was a murky blond color that smelled of bananas, wheat and fresh hay. The taste was similar with banana nut bread, fresh cut hay and wheat coming to the fore. Along with those were some subtle flavors of citrus and dehydrated banana chips. The aftertaste was dry, clean and semi-sweet. Overall this was an excellent and enjoyable session beer that I could drink on a regular basis.

Been looking forward to this one. Pours a hazy golden color. Not too much head on it. The aroma is amazing and everything that you could want from a wheat beer. Cloves, bubblegum, wheat, banana. The aroma was going to be hard to follow, and the taste didnt quite match up, but still good nonetheless. Flavor was much the same with the clove and bubblegum being the most apparent. Lots of carbonation on the palate, which seemed like a bit much, but maybe I’m just used to drinking less carbonated winter beers? This was a much better than average wheat.

Bottle mom brought for me while visiting from Wis.
Aroma had a standout bubble gum at first. Turned to cloves and vanilla ib the middle til finish. Cloudy Yellow body, pour was little aggressive and got a big white head. Flavor was good bubblegum banana and the spice added a crisp finsh. Good brew.
