light, thin, lacks banana or any sweetness or characteristic spices. looks great, bigh white head and opaque orange, otherwise a complete failure, rare for fitgers.

arminjewell (3116) - Parker, Colorado, USA - MAY 29, 2011
Pours hazy yellow with nice fluffy white head, looked great in the glass. Aroma has notes of clove, banana, some bubblegum, sweet apricot and some pear. Taste is sweet but a bit lacking in intensity, has notes of bubblegum, banana in the forefront, slight clove in there, sweet and slightly dry finish. Refreshing.

Cloudy yellow pour with minimal head. Wheat dominates the nose. Wheat body with hint of banana.

Skyview (4880) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - MAY 27, 2007
On tap at the Fitgers Brewhouse in Duluth, MN, pours a very cloudy golden yellow brew with a fizzy white head. Fast dissolving to a fine lacing. Aroma of a typical hefeweizen of yeast and wheat with a touch of tropical fruit. Taste is medium body, carbonated, and a dry finish. Not much in hop bitterness but it has a dry aftertaste.

auerbrau (2668) - Peace Dale, Rhode Island, USA - MAY 23, 2007
On tap at the brewpub. Clove and oyster platter aroma. Musky and mildly spiced. Sweet. Incredibly clouded deep gold, tinted in amber, with a perfectly white sharp head. Easily the most murky, clouded beer I’ve ever seen. Damn near milk. Flavor moves with a light gentle wheat oil grace, spritzy and full of banana peel and pulp. Gentle. A nip thin, but bringing stellar drinkability to the table. Finishes on a bite of almond skin, almost no hop presence. Clean, bright, and refreshingly. Quite enjoyable.
