Jul 1, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy, orange/yellow pour with a thick frothy head that dissipated quickly. Sweet, fruity aroma of banana and pineapple. Similar flavor as well as wheat, citrusy hops, clove and some alcohol in the finish. Plenty of carbonation as well. Very interesting beer and very enjoyable!

Jun 30, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured a golden amber color, decent off-white head. Aroma was cloves and wheat, primarily. Flavor was wheat, wheat, wheat, some cinnamon and citrus flavors as well. The alcohol flavor was also very present, but it complemented the spices nicely. Palate was a bit too thick for the flavor, but overall it’s something I would come back to.

Jun 29, 2008 Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a weizen glass. This beer poured an attractive, hazy golden orange with a thick, lasting creamy beige head. Excellent lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of stong bananas, bubblegum, mild clove, fresh oranges, and wheat. I could take in this aroma all day! The flavor consisted of wheat, lemon, oranges, cloves, mild banana, as well as some strong alcohol. The mouthfeel was medium to full-bodied with light, soft carbonation. A really cool take on a hefe. Quite enjoyable. The alcohol was a little upfront, but not totally overpowering.

Jun 29, 2008 Bottled sample, via (and consumed with) oakbluff. Golden in colour with faint haze and moderate carbonation. Aromas of bubblegum, flowers, plastic, and malted wheat. Flavors are citrusy-floral, along with strong notes of nutmeg, clove, and hand soap. Dries out surprisingly well for a hefe. I found the spicing to be a little heavy handed, but balancing the abv and wheatbeer flavors was done pretty well. Not bad overall.

Jun 28, 2008 Before Sune (sunevdj) came out to San Diego, he made quite the tour of the beer world. This is one beer he brought along the trip, and he kept it with him to share with us at toncatchers tasting. Lots of banana and clove on this rather dark golden beer. Some bitterness that I hadn’t expected on the aromas, but the flavor was more classic hefe. Pretty darn good.
