(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of pepsican. Hazy golden with an off-white head. Aroma of yeast, cloves and banana. Medium body, lightly sweet clove and banana accents and a whiff of yeast. Dry finish with some phenols. A very decent Hefe close to authentic German examples of the style. 131108

Wheat and yeast with a spicy edge to it in the aroma. The flavor is of yeast, lemons with spices mixed in. A pretty good hefeweizen, not completely authentic to the source but still close enough with some good uniqueness to make it a good interpretation.

UPDATED: DEC 18, 2010 Bottle. A - Hazy tangerine gold color with a below average sized, foamy, bubbly, white head. Not great retention with a thin bubbly layer of lace left. S - Good amount of banana and a lot of bubblegum aroma. Hints of clove and other spices. Some musty, grainy, wet wheat in the background. A touch of cracker in the background as well. T - Similar to the nose with typical flavors for the style. Plenty of banana and bubblegum. Fair amount of clove, pepper, and lemon zest come in and out as well. Some grainy wheat taste along with a bit of a bread flavor in the background. Nothing too exciting, but it mixes well together. M - On the fuller side of a light body with plenty of carbonation. Has a bit of a bubbly/zesty/spritzy feel that detracts some of the smoothness. D - Not too sweet or spicy. Easy to drink beer with a nice amount of flavor traditionally found in the style. Notes: Not a bad beer. Displays flavors and aromas typical of the style with the bubblegum aspect maybe a touch stronger than others. Not as full of a head or as creamy as others in the style, and the flavors didn’t wow me as much as some others. All in all this isn’t too bad of a beer and pretty easy to drink.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Aroma is of wet grass, citrus, and wheat. Taste is of citrus and wheat.

Bottled. Poured mostly clear, lighter golden with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up sweet, toasted banana and clovey notes with nice balance to it.. just a little too sweet, but I dug it. The flavor found roughly the same.. sweet bananas and vanilla at the core, with white pepper and cloves around.. toasty and spicy on the short-ish finish. Light-ish bodied and well-carbonated.. a touch sharp, but alright feel.
