2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
4 oz sample at the brewpub. H hazy dingy golden. Light bubblegum and some cloves. The first sip was sour but that very quickly settled in as semi sweet. There is a hint of orange peel and some very soft spice. There are light peppers tasted. Huh? Flavor is muted and I wish it offered more vibrance.

On tap at Champaign brewpub. Flavor is sweet and rich with touches of juicy fruit spice and of course yeast. Medium mouthfeel and body for the dtyle. Lingering sweet yeasty finish. Quite good.

We’ve been here a few times and the beers and have been hit or miss. A few days ago we stopped in and it was a definite miss. In fact, I couldn’t believe they’d serve this stuff. It was obviously contaminated. There was no banana or clove flavor, it tasted like a sweet tart. I couldn’t finish it, and left disgusted.

Draft at Normal IL location. Poured a slightly hazy golden wheat color, medium sized white head. Aroma was wheat, banana and cloves. Flavor was wheat spice, banana, cloves. Was okay, but not my favorite one of this particular brewer.

Growler on the bus to MBF during RBSG 2010. Metamusil looking brew with a decent sized white cap. Standard hefe aroma but more lemon than usual, cloves and banana, light spice and a dash of orange. Decent taste as well - banana, lemon, tasty mild spices, clove, green grass? - all this is heavier on the banana side. Pretty smooth mouth feel. I think I need another barrel aged impy stout.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the brand new brewpub in Champaign, part of a large tasting flight that I wasn’t even charged for! Hazy lemony yellow. Sweaty, wet hair, lightly lemony aroma. Not getting any bubblegum or spice as advertised (there was more of that in their trippel). Light lemon citrus, hints of spices, slightly tart finish.

growler at the RBSG 2010 - Pours cloudy yellow orange and smells of wheat and bananas. It tastes of sweet wheat malt with a bit of banana and spice. There’s a mild hops presence. Okay.

I’m not usually a fan of Wheat Beer, but sometimes it is worth the experience. This is one of those times.

Typical hefe aroma dominated by banana and clove, lots of cotton candy. The yeast is stressed and overly peppery, and definitely detracts from the taste. Meh.
