Dicks Bavarian Style Hefeweizen

On tap. Pours golden with bubbles and a beige head. aromas of candy sugar and some clove, not too much banana. Not too hefe-y, which I like. Creamy palate with a bit of banana and clove.

12oz bottle. Poured a deep and cloudy golden color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of wheat, cloves, and lighter bananas. Tastes of the same wheatiness, cloves, and light bananas.

Nice and cloudy, tall sparse white head. Little banana/clove thing going on, not as intense as imports, but respectable. Nearly spot on, clean, fruity, lots of banana, almost seems turned though. Still on the edge of good and I enjoyed it.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy gold with a thick white head. Has an odd flavor of boiled vegetables. Yuck. Thin in body. This is not true to style. The aroma is quite metallic. This beer is nothing like a German Hefe.

Bottle... Poured a cloudy orange with a white head. Aroma of bananas, cloves, and yeasty bread. Tart citrus flavors, with yeast and bread-like malt. Not bad but far from standing out. I’ve had worst American style wheats.

12 oz bottle given to me by bvc. Pour is a murky brown golden, nice settling building up a one inch off white head. Aroma of clove, wheat, banana and some faint spicy ginger. Nice Hefe nose. Taste is the clove, ginger and wheat, though not quite as soft and balanced as the nose. Pretty dirty in the aftertaste. Palate is medium bodied, dry on the finish, drinkable. Overall, decent enough, thanks Brandon!

Purchased single 12-oz bottle via Malt&Vine. Pours a semi-hazy golden pale brew with an average white head that slowly dissipates. Aroma of banana esters, a touch of citrus zest, some apple and a touch of clove. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of mild banana esters, some wheat and multi-grain golden malt, a touch of citrus hops and cloves. Finish is a tad thin with a fast disappearing hefe aftertaste.
