3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at the brewpub. Poured a hazy straw-yellow color with a large white head. Aroma was some wheat notes, banana and cloves. Flavor was nice banana notes, cloves and a solid wheat character to it. Highly enjoyable.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Floral, perfume, cider, and honey aromas. Lightly hazy, pale gold, with a white head of good retention. Taste has a touch of sweetness, with fragrant, floral, clove, and honey flavors. Light-medium body, good carbonation, and a slightly honeyed finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 11/21/12
Aroma: The nose is right on style, with wheat, lots of clove, and some banana
Appearance: This one pours a cloudy golden-white color with some white lace as well
Flavor: It has a fairly typical hefe taste as well, that much resembles the nose component-wise
Palate: This one has a lightly clean feel, with a soft carbonation, and a somewhat dry finish
Overall Impression:
This one came off an on-style Hefe, but it isn’t really all that interesting or exciting. I sampled some really good beers at Devil’s Backbone, but this one wasn’t really a favorite for me.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at brewpub. Pours cloudy yellow with a head of white thickness. not a ton on the nose. It also leaves a bit of lacing in the glass
It has some nice banana and clove notes plus the estery thing
Finishes clean. Brewed very much to style but the excellence of execution is always appreciated
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cloudy yellow color, small white head. Aroma of spearmint. Taste is spearmint bubblegum.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Overripe lemon, banana, and clove nose. Milky yellow, medium head. Tangy banana flavor, which lingers on the palate for a long time. Decidedly no cloves present on the palate. Very thin. Like the brewer’s Roseland Wheat, this was also thin and soapy, but this is quite a bit better. Either way, I’m not sure wheats are this brewer’s forte.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft. Pours gold with a white head. Light sweet aroma with some wheaty notes. The flavor has a light honey sweetness, wheat, and some light fruity notes. Not bad.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Tap. Hazy light yellow. Aroma of sour apple and spice- flavor follows. Seems a bit out of kilter.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at brewery. Pours hazy yellow with a medium, creamy white head, medium-long retention with excellent lacing. Aroma is wheat, lemon-lime, banana and clove esters. Flavor is spicy wheat, clove and banana esters, and a dry finish. Light body and carbonation, low warmth.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewpub last weekend.
Pours a very hazy light yellow color with a booming white head that is quite fluffy and sticks around for a bit. Rings and sheets of lacing on the way down. The nose brings some light bubblegum, clove, and banana, though it’s certainly a bit muted. The flavor takes a bit step up from there with heavy bubblegum and light clove, along with some banana as it warms. Light body with good carbonation and a slight creaminess. Very well done.
