Bottle from trade with shigadeyo. Pours a hazy amber hue with an large frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Good wheat and banana aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium well balanced spicy flavor with a good sweet finish of moderate duration. Good soft drinkable beer.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with DavidP (thanks!). Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of bananas, cloves and some citrus. Tastes of wheat, bananas, spices and citrus. Thinner body that is typical of this style.

I tried it at first without swirling the bottle to stir up the yeast, and I wasn’t too fond of it. You must swirl the bottle or do something to stir up the sediment at the bottom, in order to fully experience this brew. Once I added the yeast the beer took on a whole new character. The spice became well balanced and the body was much smoother. There is a lot of clove flavor and aroma in there. It is a very accurate representation of its style. One of the best American made Hefe Weizens around.

Thanks to FlyingBison for coming through on this. Like an American pale wheat that has a sourness, only more aggressive wheat and carbonation. This is not a smooth hefeweizen
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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!
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle courtesy of JPDIPSO who plucked it from my wishlist into a trade. Why did I think this was from Washington DC? Oh well. Fairly clear golden body, with a white head that starts out well but diminishes quickly. Sweet fruity aroma has a belgian yeast quality to it. Sweet flavour with more muted fruit and malt. Some hops in the finish. More ’belgianness’ in the aftertaste. Average palate. Decent beer, but not much of weizen. Doesn’t seem to achieve the status described in other peoples ratings. Durf.

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>
