badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA Sep 30, 2007 350 ml bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar. Hazy yellow with a fizzy white head. Banana bread aroma and taste with a sick sour finish. BelgianBeerGal (1275), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sep 26, 2007 Bottled. Good but as other raters have pointed out not a traditional German hefe. Pours cloudy yellow with a nice creamy white head that lasts all glass. Aroma does have banana but flavor is rather creamy with no real spice or citrus. illinismitty (1790), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 23, 2007 Draft at Flying Saucer. Pours amber golden with a dissipating white head. Aroma of banana esters, but not aggressive. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavor of banana bread with some slight toastiness and lemon. Some hop detection mid palate. This lost me on the finish, which has some sour butteryness. Not really a classic hefe. This is more of an hefe influenced American Wheat. Odeed (1666), Bakersfield, California, USA Sep 21, 2007 murky yellow with a nice white head.its a good looking one i must say.aroma is of roots,hay,wheat,and a bit of all-spice.flavor does much of the same with a medicinal type finish. Glouglouburp (2778), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Sep 21, 2007 Updated: Jul 10, 2008Cloudy yellow body with a very small white ring of foam. Lemon and hay on the nose, not much hefe-bananas here. Taste is banana flavoured lemon juice. Although the body is light and crisp, it has all the hay/wheat I expect from the genre. A little hop presence. The beer is refreshing but it gets a bit annoying by the end of a single bottle although I couldn’t quite figure out why exactly. Overall this is a rather typical but slightly below average hefeweizen. My motto: less drinking of In-Heat Wheat, more drinking with in-heat girls. jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Sep 19, 2007 Updated: May 7, 200912 oz bottle Split with Mister PJays. Decent hefe, not my fav, i should have rated this right after i had it though, because its been a bit now and i cant remember specifics. SECOND TRY::: On draft at Rattle and Hum in NYC. Pours hazy yellow body. Aroma is wheat and yeast. Full mouthfeel, wheat in the finish and aftertaste. +0.2 johnadam2002 (529), Hainesport, New Jersey, USA Sep 18, 2007 Poured yellow with a little bubbly head that left in a hurry. Aroma of wheat. Some fruit flavors backed by wheat. Its ok. Ughsmash (3978), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Sep 18, 2007 Bottled. Poured hazy medium golden with chunks from the end of the pour.. thin white dusting stuck around for head. The aroma picked up sweet, lightly toasted banana, some sour lighter fruits and wheaty notes, and cloves. The flavor had grainy, toasted banana esters at the core, surrounded by cloves and peppery notes, with tacky sour wheat, banana, and cloves again at the finish.. not bad by any means, but somewhat muddled. Lighter-bodied on the palate, spicy, and refreshing.. good feel to it, save for some sticky notes at the end.
