Cloudy brown. Lots of yeast. Wheat and banana aroma. A little rough on the palate, with sweet flavors of wheat, banana, and light citrus. Good.

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.
