Tap at the brewpub. Very cloudy ugly yellow-brown pour with a fast fading fluffy white head. Aroma is beautiful though. Loaded with fresh banana esters and a faint backdrop of clove and allspice. Nice fresh wheaty spiciness over the top as well. Full-bodied and thick with loads of light banana flavour/clove and bready wheaty character. No flaws, and the rich wheaty malt base really makes this stand out. Well-done.

On tap at Lancaster Brewing. Arrived at our table a cloudy gold with a thin white ring for a head. Lighter aroma than I would have exepcted from a hefe with some light citrus and a bit of wheat noted. Thankfully, the flavor was more definitive with a nice combination of citrus, spice and a bit of banana. An enjoyable summer brew.

Draft at LBC...pours amber-orange, not as cloudy as I would’ve expected...smell of citrus and clove, bit of ripe banana...taste much of the same with a bit of spice and the clove comes to the front but not overpowering...I would’ve liked to have tried it without the orange wedge but it was quite refreshing none-the-less...great summer season beer...good example from LBC...too bad they don’t bottle this one.

Tap at the brewpup; very tasty with a good mouthfeel. Cloudy yellow in color. Aroma of banana/bubblegum and spice. Flavor was very similar, and had a somewhat creamy mouthfeel.

Really big and sharp. I’m impressed that they didn’t just do a minor version of a hefe, its big enough in flavor to be proud of. It has a big citrus aroma, good sour banana flavor, a wonderfully full and frothy mouth feel and a cloudy yellow color.
