Jul 31, 2009 soft estery nose of easy going supple fruits including peach and banana. appearance is standard clouded gold. flavor is equal parts spicy (pepper), fruity (aforementioned banana with the lightest wink of booze that curls around your tounge like a bearskin rug. mouthfeel also reflects that last note, while the typically soft weizen feel remains strong beneath it all. rich ABV makes this over the top hands down one of the best wheats in the US. also a contender worldwide. thank god i live near wisconsin.

Jul 24, 2009 Thanks to my buddy Kite for bringing this back from Cheeseland. Poured a nice orange color with a decent white head. Big and bold aroma of clove, banana, and yeast. Flavor is much the same, nice spice throughout, this Hef doesn’t mess around. Really great Hef, and by far the best American version. This gives Weihenstephaner a run for it’s money.

Jul 22, 2009 Bottle thanks to stfun. Pours a pale straw golden yellow with thick white head, minimal lacing. Aroma obvious of wheat, slight hops, citrus, and banana. Flavor matches well and is pretty smooth and well balanced. Mouthfeel is dry and leaves a lasting wheat flavor in the mouth.

Jul 21, 2009 Updated: Aug 11, 2009Bottle via trade. Slightly hazy golden yellow pour with a nice white head. Aroma is banana, clove, and wheat. Flavor is great, wheaty and lightly spiced with banana/clove present, and some hops too. Medium-light bodied and refreshing. An excellent example of the style.
