on tap, poured into standard pint glass a: straw yellow color, hazy, decent 1/2" head that reduces to a lace cap s: wheat and hints of banana and clove t: see smell m&d: medium bodied beer, very drinkable due to lower ABV, and Ok beer, i’ve had better and I’ve had worse.

Beautiful dark yellow colored wheat beer that unfortunately lacks the rich foam that use to be on this kind of beers. Fine beer, but does not really stand out from the ordinary German.

UPDATED: MAR 7, 2012 Bottle. Hazy yellow colour with white a head. Lots of banana and cirtus in the nose. Flavour are almost the same and gives a nice mouthfull!

Cloudy straw yellow color with white head. Aroma of clove, banana, lemon, and grass. Banana, clove, yeast, and a hint of lemon comprise a rather solid flavor. Very nice beer for the style.

On tap at Freshcraft. Pours a cloudy deep golden color with a small white head that doesn’t last. Big banana bread aroma with cirus undertones and hints of clove. The flavor is sweet bready malts and lots of banana with some citrus and light spices. The mouthfeel is crisp and very light bodied. Nice blend of wheat, yeast and sweet kick.

Bottle at home
Orange hazy, some white head that sudden dissapear. No lacings whatsoever so the beer looks quite ugly, almost like orange juice. Aroma of baked bread, some thin banana, yeast esters and lemon. Taste has wheat malts, some acids and almost no sweetness. Good dry mouthfeel that also feels a bit watery. Bitter finish, too bitter to make a balanced german hefe i believe. Not a personal favorite of the style German Hefeweizen

Tap @ Freshcraft. This is an old favorite of mine and I’m disappointed that it was removed from their year round lineup. Cloudy orange appearance with a fluffy white head. Big banana and clove, mildly spicy, yeasty, wheat aroma. Pretty sweet hefeweizen- lots of banana, clove, and sweet wheat maltiness with a touch of spiciness and a bit bready yeasty flavor. Sweet banana aftertaste. What a great session beer. This is the kind of beer that I like to take camping or out on a fishing boat and chug all day.

Pours a hazy gold with minimal white head. Aroma is your typical wheat malt sweetness. Taste is much the same. Nothing too special here, but certainly not bad. just average!

Pours hazy yellow with white head, aroma has notes of banana, clove, and some slight fruity esters, touch of biscuit and bread. Taste is nice with notes of banana, bread, some slight nuttiness as well, with some clove, slight fruit with pears, finishing slightly dry. Pretty full mouthfeel, nice carb level.
