italianjohn (338), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 22, 2009 Golden pour little white head smell of wheat and banana and left some lacing taste of wheat banana and clove not overpowering in flavor just a simple brew nothing really offensive here... a poor mans belgian white with a hefeweizen label OD40oz (600), Box Elder, South Dakota, USA Aug 20, 2009 I was pumped to try this one but it was pretty dissapointing. Poured a cloudy orange with a quickly diminishing off-white head. Not much for aroma and the taste was slightly sour Tasted like a hefeweizen/belgian white mix. bburychka (55), Pennsylvania, USA Aug 19, 2009 Has more flavor than almost any other hefeweizen that I’ve had. Flying Dog beers are impressing me (and I’ve only tried two so far). yemenmocha (344), Glendale, Arizona, USA Aug 15, 2009 Opaque straw color. Rocky white head.
Nose has a lot of citrus and fresh bread aromas. Very nice.
On the palate a pleasant, dry wheat cracker taste at first followed by faint banana and some clove. I think the wheat is doing more in this beer than the yeast does, or the yeast should I guess (the nice banana clove). But still, a very impressive beer.
Body is medium, perhaps on the full side for a hefe. Definitely thicker than most weizens, and so I’d say a tad less on the drinkability scale. On a hot summer day this thirst quencher will fill you up quickly. jerohen (1603), Bussum, Netherlands Aug 14, 2009 On draft at In de Wildeman, Amsterdam. Yellow coloured, white head. Banana nose. Banana wheat flavour, quite ok initially but it has an odd cloyingly sweet finish. An attempt to make a Hefeweizen, but not a very good one. MaltOMeal (642), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA Aug 12, 2009 bottle. Pours amber with an off-white head. Nose is of banana bread. Taste was the same banana bread. Mouthfeel was thin with lots of carbonation. Not bad. wnp22 (682), Toronto (Roncesvalles Village), Ontario, Canada Aug 11, 2009 Tasted at Keystone....11Kft above sea level. Was confused with this beer, not a true Hefeweizen, not terribly composed, too dark, head not right, aroma strange and palate confusing. Drank it down, but only out of spite. MissK (20), Cleveland Heights, Ohio, USA Aug 11, 2009 Bottled - golden color with small white head. Smelled clean with a bit of banana & clove. Tastes thin and somewhat unsatisfying....just not what I was wanting or expecting in a hefe - but otherwise not a horrible beer.
