Murky brown from the 12 oz bottle. Aromas are some banana and spice. Mostly yeasty bread. Flavors are more yeasty bread with some spice. Cinnamon touches maybe. Not bad.

Some cloves and a lot of bananas in the aroma. This is pretty good. Smooth, not a lot of bananas in the flavor. Mostly just smooth drinking.

Bottled: Pours a hazy orange color with a full off white head. Smells of fruit and malts. Tastes of hints of wheat, with a huge blast of fruit. Not bad....sweet!

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

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.

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.
