From the bottle, pours a hazy light orange with a thick foamy white head. Aroma is of clove and banana, and something else that I’m going to blame on the glass. Taste is smooth and there’s just a bit of bubbles on the tongue. Flavors of banana and some bready yeast make this a fine tasting beer. It’s also good on tap, as I recall.

Bottle. Pours a pale orange colour with a white head. The aroma has notes of herby yeast and some orange and banana. The flavour is light and pretty thin with notes of herby yeast, and some orange and banana. Quite watery. I’m a bit disappointed.

Pretty much a golden pour. Floral smell, some fruits. Nice carbonation, definete tinge of banana, light spiciness. Clean finish. Can’t get by the banana, prefer more citrus notes. I like their dunkel much better.

Pours a golden orange with a cold haze in it. Pours a big rocky head that recedes almost entirely. Smell is clean and wheaty. Light hints of banana and coriander. Also has a bit of earthy funk. Taste is mild and slightly bitter from the hops. Refreshing. Mouthfeel is light and metallic. The metallic finish sticks long after the beer is done. Decent drinkability.

This is one of my favorite German Wheat Beers. A hang-over buster. Pairs really well with pancakes.

Draft at Laschet’s in Chicago. This was quite a subdued Hefe. Nose was lightly citric and fruity, some banana and clove though more malty than anything. Taste is slightly metallic, somewhat bready, fizzy. Not as full bodied as I would like, though the caramelization is definitely there. Nice, but not my favorite.
