2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured a cloudy golden color with a medium sized, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of lemony wheat, and a bit of citrus as well. Taste of tart citrus, a bit of banana, light spices, toffee malts, and bread, with some bubblegum in the background.

Thanks to weeare138. Pours a lightly hazy golden/yellow with a bubbly white head. Aroma of banana, clove and tart wheat. Flavor of the same with some bubblegum and tingly carbonation. A bit overcarbonated.

hazy yellow, whispy white head, sweet banana aroma that picks up clove after warming, nice creamy body, lots of clove in the flavor with just a bit of sweet banana to balance, light bitterness

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the Microfestivus ’07... Cloudy pour, with active carbonation visible through the haze. Cloudy head is nicely retentive. Bouquet is of bananas and cloves. The flavors are a bit dry, with definitive yeast notes coming through mid-palate, complimenting a light banana and subtle, dry spice. The finish is lightly dry-hopped, ending with a touch of sours, citrus and more yeast. Mouthfeel is both creamy and zesty, which made for the best part of the brew. Definitely refreshing, but seems a bit underdone. It misses the clove finish teased in the nose. The dry body comes across at times as "thinness". Hits on most points, but integrates at odd times throughout the pull.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a somewhat hazy golden yellow colour with a fairly healthy, but quickly disapating head. Nose leads with citrus, yeast, and a sprinkle of banana. Flavors continue with that sour/citric profile with a far away background of sweet bananas. Mouthfeel was pleasently creamy which I like in a hefeweizen. Tart finish with a ever so small hoppiness. I didn’t mind this one at all and if I ever was in their brewing area, I would pick another one up.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
22 oz bottle. Hazy light orange color with white head that fades quickly. Aromas of wheat, yeast, cloves, banana, and faint lemon notes. Flavor is fairly well balanced, not as spicy as the nose suggests, and ends in a drying bite. A bit watery, but otherwise tasty.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
22 oz. Bomber. Not as cloudy as most other hefeweizens I’ve had. A little bit more bitter than the others I’ve had, perhaps doing to the barley malt. A pretty good beer from a pretty good brewery
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
22 oz. brown bomber bottle. Bought cold. No freshness date seen. Poured out about as you’d expect. Golden / straw yellow color, with a soapy white head. Aromas are of phenolics, lactic wheat malts, yeasty bread. Catty hops in the flavors, along with spicy phenolics, wheat bread flavors as well. Medium body, OK mouthfeel. Decent aftertaste, nothing too spicy.
