Jul 17, 2006 12 oz bottle. Foggy apricot yellow pours a big head diminishing quickly to some white scum. Nice waft of banana taffy and lemon. Taste like nose with lingering sour lemon. Long finish with flour. Medium body but carb seems a bit muddy. Very tasty but not quite the meal a hefe should be.

Jul 12, 2006 Great brew for being made in the states! Have wanted this one for a while, thanks Duane! Banana, clove, and peppery! Very nice aftertaste! Citrus too. What a great Hefe, a reminder of the German brews I miss so much. Great beer!

Jun 30, 2006 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.

Jun 9, 2006 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.

May 18, 2006 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. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Plainfield, IL<font size=-1>

May 14, 2006 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.

Apr 26, 2006 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.

Apr 24, 2006 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.
