brewski519 (395), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA Jan 29, 2009 Poured a dark, murky yellow with a white head and decent lacing. Smells of lemon and wheat - I din’t pick up as much banana as some have indicated - but a slight scent was there. The taste was of lemon, spice, and was crisp and very drinkable. Not a bad beer at all. ilherps (212), Carbondale, Illinois, USA Jan 18, 2009 Lots of fruit flavor, especially banana, and some citrus. Sweet fruitiness more than anything else, with a yeasty finish. Some clove is noticable. mjg74 (1995), La Mesa, California, USA Jan 10, 2009 Bottle from Del Cerro Liquor. Hazy light orange in color. Sweet fruity aroma with moderate yeastiness. Yeast and spices seem to dominate the flavors. Slightly sour, but not a terrible hefe. Miksu (2187), Jyväskylä, Finland Dec 31, 2008 12 oz bottle at SBWF 2008. Hazy copper color. Bready, clovey and fruity aroma with banana, watermelon and apricot. Bready, clovey, peppery and fruity flavor with spicy bitterness, watermelon and apricot. Perhaps too bitter.
ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Dec 30, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours straw color with two fingers of head that quickly settles.
Smell of cloves and a little citrus and banana. The flavor comes mainly from the yeast that brings a spicy clove taste. Has a bit of a lemony aftertaste. Not a big beer but is nice tasting. A little watery with heavy carbonation. thejoeshow (232), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Dec 26, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow/orange color with a big frothy white head that has nice retention and great lacing. Aroma is strong banana and clove with hints of yeast and coriander. Flavor is citrus with a bit of spice (clove and coriander). Very easy on the palate. Pretty much a solid hefe. Nothing really extraordinary, but nothing bad at all. Solid.
RasterMaster (120), , Oklahoma, USA Dec 26, 2008 Hazy blonde pour into thin foamy head that fully dissipates leaving no trace of lacings on the glass. Aroma of malty citrus and rye bread. Initial flavor of yeasty malts with a hint of orange and bananna leaving a watery fruity finish. ansermadide (496), Kyle, Texas, USA Dec 22, 2008 12oz bottle from sample 12-pack on December 22, 2008. Little to no head. Light orange color. Citrus aroma, citrus/banana flavor. Average, run of the mill hefe. Nothing spectacular.
