DandyWolfFloyd (231), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 25, 2008 Updated: Aug 11, 2008 Awesome!!! This is truly a beer alone on an island. First the aroma is just plain awesome. It’s got hints of banana, maybe some sort of spice, maybe its some sort of malt charachter. It’s appearance is just perfect. Huge fluffy head. It’s a cloudy color yellow. It’s flavor is just outrageous. It’s got a banana, spice, wheaty taste. It’s mouth feel is perfectly smooth. This is like cream in a glass.
1010 (23), Marysville, Ohio, USA Sep 4, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy amber color with a thick white head. Has a frouty taste, but very balanced.
Not usually a fan of this style, however this is a good beer. pjarnold81 (5), Edgewater, Florida, USA does not count Sep 3, 2008 Pours a cloudy golden amber with a foamy white head. Citrus and light malt comes across most clearly on the nose with faint aromas of bananas and possibly cocoa. Immediately spicy on the tip of the tongue. Citrus and yeast come across in the finish. A bit too yeasty for my tastes but overall a very good beer. drpimento (499), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Sep 2, 2008 Loooonnng time favorite. Many years ago some friends and I sat at a local bar and compared some hefe weizens side by side and this one came out on top. Still does. Poured with a fine white head and a bit of lace. Hazy amber color. Extremely fragrant! Intoxicating (sorry) spicy,estery, grainy aromas. Same flavors but stronger and a bit of yeasty bitterness. Superb balance. Body is just right for this masterpiece. Great clean finish. Champion session beer. Kudos to Spaten!! Having this on draft at Bodega downtown La Crosse, Wis. USA. kevd193213 (323), Coventry, Rhode Island, USA Sep 2, 2008 7 oz draught sample. Cloudy golden pour with a medium white head. Aroma of bananas, lemon and ginger. Taste of yeast, bread and bananas. Full but not overpowering finish. Great on a hot summer day. JuStuka (143), , Mexico Sep 2, 2008 Pale yellow color, smell is wheat and some lemon, spice. Taste is very wheaty
