conor23 (110), Elgin, Illinois, USA Nov 7, 2007 Sour hoppy aroma. Citrusy flavor with mildly spice/clove finish and hint of banana bread. Creamy mouthfeel. Quite good. naivepegasus (183), USA Nov 5, 2007 Pours a cloudy orange with four fingers of white, lingering head. Sediment in the bottle. Odors of sweet cloves. A very sweet taste, with a hint of citrus and cloves, with a general sense of creaminess. A good, drinkable beer. scoobysnak (249), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Nov 1, 2007 Updated: Nov 2, 2007The head gets big and stays pretty big. I noticed the clovey taste the most. Slightly citrusy at the beginning but for me it turned very into a strong clove and banana flavor. coldbrewky (716), Saugerties, New York, USA Oct 30, 2007 Updated: Jan 25, 2009Bottle pours a hazy orange. Dense white head. Carbonation is sparse yet head does not settle. Aroma of limes and pine needles. Body is sweet malts and a touch of toffee. Finish is well rounded and smooth. hardly a trace of hop. Citrus bit is only present at first mouthfeel. Malts overtake it but do not dominate. An all day drinker. Tap last night at the Wurstfest in Albany. A solid presentation. I would expect no less from the German-American Club: proper glassware and temperature. No change in rate or score. 17thfloor (1403), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 28, 2007 Yellow and orange pour lots of bubbles, very little cloudiness and a large white head. Somewhat dusty wheat aroma. flavor is light but very balanced. Not too sweet, a little dry and some banana/clove in the finish. Palate is very nice, pillowy, but the bubbles are a little too strong and fade quick leaving it strangely fluffy. Bumped it up a point of two for being the beer that turned me onto to quality brews in college. Very drinkable. JLAudio (282), Crestwood, Illinois, USA Oct 23, 2007 Definitely another wonderful German style Hefeweizen. Pours a wonderful cloudy, hazy, slightly carbonated copper color. It performs well with nice head retention and good lacing. The flavor is solid with wheat, banana, clove and a slight spicey character blended with a fruity twist. Nicely done Michmike (11), USA Oct 23, 2007 A creamy, smooth, sweet beer with a hint of banana and clove. Rich, golden pour includes a generous head that maintains throughout. Very, very smooth refreshing finish. My favorite hefe. mgermani (862), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Oct 19, 2007 Pours a very hazy orange with a modest creamy white head and some lacing. Aroma of wheaty sweetness and pale sugar syrup - more sweet than spicy. Taste is to style - very creamy and typically sweet, crisp but subtle hops with a buttery, lightly spiced finish. Very creamy body with good carbonation that settles very quickly. This is a very good Hefe, but it doesn’t exactly jump out at you. Drinkable, but I’ve had much better locally.
