ABR 2009. Pretty decent. Light wheat aroma with smoke, some coriander and citrus. Recognizable as a weizen, but the light smoke is there. Some banana. Medium palate.

On draught during the Autumn Brew Review 2009 in Minneapolis, MN as Lemon Smoke Hefe. Pours a semi-clear golden amber colored brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of both banana esters, lemon peel, a touch of clove and yeast. Taste is medium bodied, some flavors of lemon, golden grain malt, banana and smoked peat (Band-Aid bandage character). Finish has a nice balance of bitterness and sweetness, yet a lingering smoked peat profile after the finish. An interesting flavor twist to a Hefeweizen.
