Draft at Coney. Nice murky gold/amber color. Creamy white head, quickly disapating. Nice sweet, banana nose. Good crisp malt flavor with banana and clove, subtle and tasty. Nice crisp finish.

Aroma is lemon and raisin. Semi-clear amber color with no head. Lemon and grain flavor, unremarkable. Crisp, abrupt finish. Nothing very impressive about this beer, but it’s enjoyable.

Highly carbonated. I opened the bottle and had to wait for the head to settle. The flavor was enjoyable. Not my favorite wheat beer, but still recommendable.

Hazy gold color, fast fading head (especially for a hefeweizen). Minimal amount of bubbles. Tasty aroma of lemon, honey, and orange, no hint of hops in the aroma. Tangy orange flavor overrides the smooth wheat. It is very citrus dominated like spiked grapefruit juice. The palate is very smoothe and easy. This beer reminds me of the highly regarded hitacho from Japan but the price is much more economical. This is a great choice in the hefe class

The aroma seems more cereal grain accented than wheat. Yeast notes, but no banana. A hint of nilla wafers maybe and toasted vanilla, but it’s solidly different than most German brewed Hefe’s I can recall. The body is golden/yellow with a diminishing white head.Mild banana, yeast notes in the fore, but it tastes a bit like rubber too and is a bit lacking in flavor concentration. Hints at honey and vanilla int he far finish. Just seems off to me. Not what I was expecting.

Pour is a hazy yellowish golden with a small white head. Aroma has notes of orange and wheat. Flavor is light and spritzy with clove and wheat. Finish is crisp and clean.

One of the best hefes I’ve had and I’m not just saying that because I pass this brewery every day. Aroma of yeast and wheat. Pour was a solid gold with a 2 finger white head that laced the whole glass. Taste was banana, wheat and yeast. Nice and dry with a crisp finish. This is not a Saturday night beer...this is a Sunday afternoon beer.
