Aroma: spices and cracked wheat
Appearance: murky yellow, small head, little lacing
Flavor: wine-like, fruitiness
Palate: very smooth, little fizz, coats mouth
Overall: almost a wheat-wine; one of the better wheat beers I’ve had

Lacks the strong coriander taste of most similar-style beers, which is a refreshing break from the Hefe norm in my opinion. Tasty and drinkable.

Cloudy pale copper/orange with just a bit of white head. Orange peal and nice lemony malt aromas. Good soft citrus malt, and a sparkly yeasty bite. A really nice wheat beer. I am going to need to a growler of this to take home!

Paled hazed straw yellow with frothy white head and lace. Banana, wheat aroma dominates. Banana, wheaty malt, clove, Light bodied and clean. Just a tad fizzy. Good to style.

Light citrus aroma with a nice hint of banana esters. Super cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Light citrusy flavor with some grainy malt and a nice touch of clove spice and wheat twang. Lighter bodied with a dry finish. I was expecting a boring American Wheat and this was a pleasent suprise.

On draft at the pub with Brett and Hannah. Rating this as a hefeweizen: Poured a yellowish cloudy color (just like a hefe) with a regular head, don’t remember the lacing, although probably not up to the standards of its peers. The aroma was bananas with a wheat twang. The same was true of the flavor, although some citrus notes were detectable. Carbonation was a little low. An ok ale to drink, yet it lacked any phenolic spice character (certainly no coriander character).

On tap at the brewpub in Fayetteville, AR. Pours a lightly clouded pale yellow colored body with a finger-width, frothy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is thin wheats with a touch of sweetness, a light banana, hints of clove spice, and a few lemon citrus notes. Flavor is similar. Lightly sweetened, somewhat grainy wheats with a light banana, clove spice, and lemon citrus. A bit bready in the end as this finishes clean and lightly dry with a touch of grass. Shorter aftertaste following a light body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, not a bad hefe. Refreshing and balanced, just nothing special.

(Draught) Pours a murky pale yellow body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of banana, lemon, and yogurt. Flavor of wheat, banana, cantaloupe, yogurt, earth, grass, and bread.

Draft at the source. Served with a lemon. Cloudy yellow, small but thick white head. Aroma of lemon. Taste is lemon, banana, subtle grapefruit. Refreshing.

A light colored pale golden beer with a light crisp white-ish head. They didn’t serve with an orange or anything which probably would have improve the overall flavor. But as it stood it was clean and forgettable. Was overpowered by the strong food being served.
