2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Interesting attempt, but I’m not sure it is true to the style. Very murky with yeast and just a touch of oiliness (?) on the tongue. Too much fruit!
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap, Bowie location. From notes.
Very hazy, straw yellow color, with a fast fading head. Aromas are mostly of cloves, slight banana. Flavors are sharp, slightly astringent, mostly cloves, followed by slight banana & hops at the finish. Thin body, thin mouthfeel. OK beer, but needs more body.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Tap @ Bowie. Cloudy amber-yellow color with a small white head. Aroma is banana and a little wheat thrown in. Banana dominates the taste. Some spices and wheat are also evident, but the banana is over-poweringly dominant. Not bad, but not really my cup of tea.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Not a big fan of Hefe’s and especially not bananas (allergic). Since I can’t say anything good about this brew, I’ll stop while I’m ahead. This was one of the first ’diverse’ brews I had when I began delving into other offerings besides Macros. Good thing this was part of the DuClaw sampler, so I could enjoy other fabulous beers.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
355mL. Pours a clear yellow to straw with a medium, bright white, suddy head forming but not sticking around. No lace. Nose is relative to style with mostly apples, pears, and spice. As it warms it picks up a little phenolic clove and old banana. But as it opens up even more, these volatile compounds are replaced by heavy oatmeal and cereal grain...maybe something corny or buttery like cornbread (diacetyl and/or DMS?). Off-character in the nose but inoffensive. Taste is slightly buttery with a soapy palate. Sweet pears try to come through with sweet banana dessert, but this is ruined by big soapiness. Poor palate. Really all over the place.

Beer pours a yellow merky color with no head at all, the taste of the beer is very week for this style. I can taste some banana, and spice , the palte is just that not there at all for me.

Sitting and drinking with my brother in law a bubbly left this beer here over the summer so it’s 5 or 6 months old.Pours with almost no head and yellow to orange in color.Very thin and a little boring.Aromas of wheat and a touch of citrus.I get the banana flavor but not the clove.Over all not one of the best of its style.
