Apr 26, 2005 Pours a cloudy hefe-yellow with a big fluffy white head. It looks the part. Aroma is some clovy spice, light fruits...banana I suppose. Flavor is decent, not up to the promises of the nose, but ok nonetheless. Flavor is light...some maltiness, a little hops, a definite yeastiness, but comes up short of being great on all counts. A nice hefe, a little too thin, and not up there with the best. I’d still order it again.

Feb 3, 2005 I still dig a good Hefe every now and then. Draft - Very hazy gold, fluffy white head. Nose was light clove and banana, but with more bubblegum and lemon type notes dominating. The flavor somewhat mirrored the aroma with decent balance and touch of sweetness. Needed more of the typical German yeast character profile for me to love it. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, smooth lightly spiced finish. Still a nice session ale on a sunny warm day...

Feb 2, 2005 Updated: Feb 3, 2005Draft at the Linebaugh location... Murky, light yellow ale with a small, creamy, white head. Great retention and ink-blot, cement-like lacing. The aroma is of sweat and leather; none of the traditional fruit and spices of a hefe-weizen. The fruit and spices do show up in the flavor, though. A hint of banana and a whisper of clove. It’s a bit on the sweet side for my taste. Medium-bodied and silky with moderate carbonation. Short, lightly sweet, spicy finish.

Dec 24, 2003 Draft at Hoppers in Tampa, FL. A large sized white head that was creamy and smooth with fine sized bubbles that were long lasting. The body was cloudy with a lot of fast rising carbonation and a yellow hue. The nose was that of banana and clove with a sweet and banana taste. The mouthfeel was smooth, watery and thin making this a light bodied German Hefeweizen with sparse lacing.

Dec 19, 2003 TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 101. This draft brew was sampled at the East Lake Road Hoppers Tampa Florida. This brew poured a large head of white colored finely sized long lasting bubbles that left behind a slightly hazy carbonated yellow colored body. The mouthfeel was tingly and smooth. The flavor was nice with complex notes of malt and wheat.
