12oz bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City. Poured a hazy medium orange color. Head was white and reduced less than a minute to a tight lasting film. Some tattered lace was left behind on the glass. Pleasant aroma of banana, light clove, honey, and a bit of caramel. Slightly sweet up front with a hint of acidity into the finish. Light bodied with subdued flavors of clove, biscuit, and minimal banana. A little watery, but pretty good nonetheless.

bottle from pepsican, thanks man. Pours an apple juice color with a few sudsy bubbles showing around the edges of my glass. Aroma is light and sweet...some apple, yeast and wheat. Flavor is sweeter than i would have expected with some hints of spices and herbal tea. I do get some banana as well. Kinda watery, but would be good on a real hot day after mowing the lawn.

Thanks to pepsican for giving me the chance to try this. Poured clear yellow with absolutely zero head. Aroma was sweet wheat. Taste was quite watery, some yeast, sugary wheat and then it was done. Almost non existent finish. I can’t say that I finished this one.

Clear amber orange with NO lasting head at all. Smell is funky 8 month old moldy lemons. Flavor is super watery and bland and reminds me exactly of drinking watered down unsweet iced tea. Palate is not very good and has almost no carbonation. Flat and unappealing.

Pours a slightly hazy apple juice colored body with a small fizzy white head that completely vanished. Very light aroma of wheat with a touch of green apples. Watery flavor of just a slight grassy wheat and a minimal amount of yeast. A little bit of banana on the finish coming out late. Thin bodied and watery in texture with soft fizzy carbonation. Overall, not the most flavorful of beers.

The color was hazy amber. The head was thin and off-white. The aroma grassy wheat. The flavor was banana and wheat. The palate was average. The finish was grassy.
