20100621 Tap at Bel Air. Cloudy pale golden with slight white head that refuses to be coaxed to more than a fleeting whisp. Aroma is standard banana and clove, mild teaberry or bubblegum, and a husky sort of wheaty graininess that reminds me of my 5 grain oatmeal. Body is thin but nicely tart with good finishing astringency. Carbonation is at a nice level, but the feel is more tingly than soft. Kind of bland, besides the acidity and lingering mild spicy yeast. This is the same impression I had of this beer last week when it was released, but I was hoping that was just because it had been served so cold. Cheers to the bartenders for serving this sans fruit. Despite the mediocre score, I’ll probably drink a bunch of this in the next month.

Cloudy yellow and orange pint with a fluffy white head. Yeasty aroma with some clove and banana. Middle of the road body with slight dryness at the beginning and lasting yeast in the palate.

Draft at Bowie location. Came to the table a hazy gold with no head. Aroma of bananas, lemons, cloves, and wheatiness. On the thin side. Sweet and tangy upfront with plenty of bananas and lemons. Spicy cloves on the backside. A semi-crisp, refreshing finish. Solid for the style.

Pretty distinct flavors-smooth banana, spiced clove, tart lemon. Kind of a wheaty-grainy taste. Very bright yellow , looks refreshing. Could use more carbonation, was a bit too flat for a hefe.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hazy golden coloured body with a nice white head. Aroma of nice lemons, wheat and yeast. Medium-bodied; Strong yeastie flavour with a lot of lemons and a strong scent of hops! Aftertaste potent, but strong in showing the good flavours. Overall, a nice wheat - especially in the summer heat! I sampled this six ounce sample from pseudo-draught at the Old Dominion 2005 Beer Festival on 24-June-2005 in Ashburn, Virginia.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
The aroma was bananas and clove with a somewhat odd toasty aspect. The beer arrived lightly cloudy pale goden with a well lastint white head which laced the glass from top to bottom. The flavor was mostly overripe bananas with a very light spice presence. The flavor was a bit too sweet and while never cloying did not have the expected dryness in the finish. The body was medium with a moderate carbontion but a bit low for a hefe. An ok pint, but nothing special.
