Aug 22, 2008 Pint @ brewpub. Pours a completely hazy, cannot see through it, golden/thick yellow color. Has a nicely sticky lacing as well. Aroma is candy sweet bubblegum. A bit sweeter smelling than standard Hefe. Taste is slightly less bubblegum and more just sweet candy. With a light herbalness in the aftertaste. Hey I like estery brews and this is definitely got plenty of that.

Aug 19, 2008 Poured from a growler into my ,4 liter Kulmbacher glass. Growler was generously transported from the brewpub to my house by csbosox. Pour is hazy straw yellow and orange with a big white head. Nice thick lacing left behind as the head retreats. There are a bunch of carbonation bubbles clung on all sides of the glass. Bubbles rise to the top as well. Aroma of bready wheat toast, perfumey lemon citrus and bubble gum. The bubble gum comes on last but certainly is the strongest. Taste is the wheat, with a touch of lemon citrus and standard Hefe yeastiness. Palate is medium. Overall a nice hefe. Thanks for being my Free State mule, Chris.

Aug 20, 2006 Hazy straw yellow with a big white head. Very corny nose. Some spicey phenols, but where in the hell is the banana? Grassy and some pepper flavor. Dry finish. Blah.

Aug 12, 2005 Overall pretty mild in the typical hefe spice notes. Not really memorable at all.

Aug 22, 2003 Draft: Cloudy lemon. Faint musty aroma. Lightly estery. Notes of white grape, straw, phenol, dough, and banana. Soft mouthfeel, restrained carbonation. Initially it's moderately acidic. Chalky flavors are only slightly countered by a trace of clove and hop. Finishes bland with oodles of pale malts and a subtle wheaty twang. It still needs some work, but is heading in the right direction.
