Dickinsonbeer (2550), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Sep 19, 2006 Pours a light fizzy yellow with a fizzy short lived head. Aroma is banana and clovey phenols with some sulfur and lemons. Light wheat taste upfront with more sulfur and banana and gets more lemony in the end until it becomes a bit tart and even somewhat sour in the end. Body is light and mouthfeel is fizzy and light. Solventy. Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA Aug 14, 2006 Bottle. Poura a hazy yellow gold with a soft white cap on top. Nose is very light but still discernable wheat and banana notes. Flavor is quite nice, slightly thin, but enough hefe flavor to carry this brew. Sweet, citric and banana. Very nice brew. fbennett (293), Lowell, Massachusetts, USA Jul 26, 2006 This offering from Nashoba pours a maize yellow that leaves a cloudy body with a thin white lace. The aroma is wheat, banana, honey, citrus (orange/lemon), some earthy spices from the hops throughout. The taste starts malty, banana is really present, cloves, and leaves a wheat twang and a sharp bitterness that is just crisp and refreshing particularly on a summer day. This brew is really balanced with that malty banana caramel sweetness, the spicy hops and that tart wheat twang all come together so nicely. This is a great example of a Bavarian wheat beer.
jcwattsrugger (4045), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jun 26, 2006 on tap-pours a creamy white head that laces with cloudy straw color. Aroma is banana, clove, apple, perfumy. Taste follows, wheat. jimhilt (1428), Bow, New Hampshire, USA Nov 28, 2005 Pours a one-finger white head and leaves no lace. Pale, cloudy amber color. Good carbonation and light bodied. Sour lemon nose. Starts with a citrusy, sour lemon flavor, stronger than most wheats and yeast is not noticeable like it usually is in a wheat. Finish is clean, this would be a good summer time beer. $1.65 for a 12oz bottle from Julio’s Liquors Westborough, Ma.
