Commercial Description:

Brewed in the USA... Pours a hazy yellow color with a medium foamy white head and nice carbonation. Aroma of banana, yeast and mild cloves. The taste is much of the same with the addition of mild grains. Mouthfeel is medium in body, it’s well balanced, yet something is missing here? Overall, pretty good, but not the best Hefe out there.

Apperance is weak with little to no head over a nicely colored golden liquid. Scent is of strong banana and clove. Taste is much more subdued than the scent, and is nice and refreshing with the same characters as the nose but again, very subtle. Palate is thin-medium bodied and medium high carbonation with a decent coating feeling. Overall a good, easy drinking beer.

12 oz. bottle thanks to zizzybalubba! Very much classic hefe aroma of banana/clove. Flavor is very much the same with a slight tart finish. Pretty true to style but not up there with the top hefes. Not nearly as drinkable as some of the better german hefes, New Glarus, or more recently Sierra Nevada Kellerweis. Lingering sticky on the tongue.

12oz bottle. Hazy golden color. Thin white head. Perfect hefe aroma. Big wheat, lots of bananas and clove. Light bodied. Flavor is lacking character. No true presence of malt. Dry finish. Thirst quenching, but so is water. 28 NOV 08

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine. Pours a yellowish-orange with a thin white head. Aroma of yeast, banana, and a hint of clove. Very well balanced flavor of banana, bread, and bubblegum. Very refreshing and quite honestly better than expected. This is a solid hefeweizen that I am sure to try more often.

pours translucent orange-creamsicle colored with a thick off-white head. nose of heavy tropical fruit...along with the ubiquitous banana and clove, there was lots of pineapple, mango, nectarine. flavor is more tart than I would have expected. Lots of fruit esters, more of the mango and nectarine. long, creamy aftertaste. light bubblegum i like this one a lot.

Bottle. Poured a hazy yellow with a huge fluffy white head that had some lasting. Aromas of clove, banana, citrus, and wheat. The flavor found wheat and tart apple. Light body, tingly carbonation, and a tart aftertaste.
