Draft at Flying Saucer. Slightly hazy, dark yellow color. Very minimal head but large carbonation bubbles stayed in the beer the whole way down. Grainy aroma with some lemons and bananas. Taste is sharp and clean with a blend of bananas, lemon, and a bit of spice. None of the flavors are very powerful, so it’s somewhat watery, but for a light summer beer, this goes down smooth, finishes cleanly, and is quite refreshing.

On tap. Not sure if I got a bad tap or what but I noticed lots of grass in the aroma. Also noticed some wheat and some light yeasts. Really did not enjoy this one from a usually very good brewer.

Perfectly acceptable hefeweizen, although nothing that really rocked my socks off. I don’t know about the tapicoa nose... must have missed that.

hazy yellow pour, fluffy white head. Banana on the nose. Typical wheat beer banana, clove, and citrus.

On tap at WBF in Raleigh. A solid Hefe. Pale hazy bright golden pour with generous head. Wheat, lemon, a little creaminiess on the nose. Not overspiced. Solid. Don’t usually give shout-outs to labels, but this is a really great label.
