Jul 10, 2008 Bottle from Trader Joes. 1$. Pours a dark brown amber with a thin offwhite head. Aroma is sweet like candy with a wheat beer smell. Flavor is very sweet, medium body. Pretty good

Jul 6, 2008 From Trader Joe’s Market. Dark very cloudy amber with one inch of light tan head. Some lacings. Funky aroma. A bit of sour wheat flavor, plenty of malt and wheat flavors, nice sweet / sour contrasts. Has a touch of cider-like flavor. Overall a tasty brew. Better than I expected.

Jul 4, 2008 Appearance: Pours a murky, medium brown body with a small, unassuming, white head.
Smell: A few ripe banana slices interlaced with strips of bubblegum and layered atop a piece of oven-toasted wheat bread.
Taste: Sweet flavor of wheat malt and banana juice. A few hunks of premium bubblegum. There’s never much hop flavor or bitterness. Spicy, sweet finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-low carbonation.
Drinkability: Personally, I didn’t care for this one at all and was asked repeatedly to stop glaring at the bottle. I’m glad unclemattie dug it though.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle. Pour is a hazy brown with a big, fluffy, tan head. Aromas of brown sugar & cloves. Flavors are sweet, earthy and have a mildly spicy backdrop. Even so, there is a lack of punch, and while it doesn’t come off as watery, it does come off as lacking in fullness.

Jul 1, 2008 Bottle from Trader Joe’s. Very sweet clove aroma, a bit unnatural. Earthy and vegetal, though, with some stale air. Pours a hazy very dark brown with a beige head. Crisp medium body overflows with clove, a little oily with wheat and candyish notes. Citrus and spice. Drinkable, much moreso than my rating indicates, but heavily flawed. Pass.

Jun 6, 2008 Cloudy brown hue with a disappointing head for a wheat beer. Yeasty banana nose. Fairly complex flavor - sweet malty fruity spicy with only a hint of hops. Creamy in the mouth and pleasant to drink.

Jun 2, 2008 (Bottle) Wow, tastes like a real dunkelweizen! Strange, but good. Fruity, simultaneously rich and light. Complex. Weird. Good. I can never describe Dunkelweizens, because they’re so weird. But I like this one. It’s the most banana-y dunkelweizen I’ve tried yet. Yet another good Trader Joe’s beer.
