3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20Had on tap.
Appearance is a hazy light to medium yellow with a fizzy white head.
Smells strongly of clove and bubblegum with a little bit of pineapple.
Flavor is clove, banana, and bubblegum. There is a moderate pineapple taste as well which is quite refreshing. One downside would be the mouthfeel is quite watery.
Overall is pretty tasty hefe. Just a little more body would make for a perfect summer thirst quencher.

Beer 51 Asheville trip. Cloudy yellow, slight head. Aroma is lightly of wheat, bit of clove. Flavor is wheaty, slight clove, slight banana, hint of bubblegum - appropriate to the style, but wish it had been ramped up a bit more. More banana than anything else. Too bad, I had really hoped for an awesome hefe on the trip.

Draft at the source. Cloudy pale yellow color, thick white head. Aroma of banana bubblegum. Taste is buttered popcorn, odd.

Tap at universal joint - pours a cloudy yellow orange in the dim pub light with a white head. Aroma is banana, bubblegum, and clove. Taste leans sweet, palate crisp finishes thin. Overall, solid hefe, though not spectacular.

Pours cloudy and golden with a moderate head. I get a slight citrusy smell off it and a somewhat wheaty taste. Definitely pairs well with the slice of lemon they served it with.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Barley’s Taproom & Pizzeria in Asheville. A hazy yellow-gold color with a thick creamy head on top. This is light-bodied with wheat, banana, and clove flavors. A light herbal spice joins in but it’s a touch thin. Definitely a good choice for the summer though; thirst quenching and pretty tasty.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft to pint. Looks good; golden and hazy with nice lacing. Smells pretty good too; yeast with a zesty citrus scent (which could be the orange slice it was served with too). Tastes decent; could have a little more zip on it though. Docked for feel because it’s lacking hefe kick. Still decent though.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at the brew pub. Pours cloudy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is weak to medium acidy dry fruity a bit yeasty. Flavor is almost sour, acidy, thin body, a bit yeasty, fruity citric and fairly bitter. Finishes bitter acidy. Darn good summer brew, would like to see this brewed with fresh raspberries.

Draft pint. Hazy straw-gold with a small lasting disc of foam. Nose is dry cereal, light lemon and spicy yeast. Taste is lemony wheat, bubblegum and clove-banana. Light-medium body has medium carbonation and is well balanced.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Originally reviewed: 7/8/08. Had this on tap at Foothills. Nice cloudy deep golden color. Absolutely no head to this at all; just a little rim around the top. Smells very citrusy with a little clove and strong wheat/yeast. Very crisp clean taste. Can definitely find the strong yeast taste, but it mellows out as I drink this. Fairly smooth and balanced. Not a bad brew from the guys at Foothills. Refreshing.
