3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
At the Brazen Head. Gold color. Aroma of clove, bananas and floral hops. The malt seems real clean and refreshing, but a little grainy. Light and sweet beer.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Light straw colored am da little bit hazy. massive white head and an equally massive wheat aroma. Light body, with an almost choking wheat flavor that obscures anything else in this beer. Guess if I liked wheat beer, this might be very good.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a darker golden color with a white head. Aroma is of wheat, lemon, banana, and spices. Lighter on the palate with lemon and banana up front with wheat and spices in the background. Not really as much flavor as I would like and the flavor doesn’t really linger.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with lively carbonation and a fizzy white head that died pretty quickly but left some decnt lacing. Typical wheat and banana aroma for a German Weizen. The flavor was common for the style also, wheat and a little spice, BUT something just seemed off with the flavor. This to me is a common example of an American brewery version of a German Weizen, average at best. Too soft!
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Belmont Party. Pours a hazy orange hue with a moderate frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Good wheat and banana aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium well balanced spicy flavor with a good sweet finish of moderate duration. Good soft drinkable beer.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear yellow beer that I clouded up with some of the yeast in the bottle. Lasting fizzy white head. Lots of yeast, banana and spice in the nose. This has all the traditional yeastiness of the good German Hefes, with the banana/clove flavor, lemon citrus and cracker notes. Yeast is a little heavy on the palate, but otherwise a nice US version of this traditional style.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Cloudy, even milky yellow/orange color with some floaties and a moussy white head. All sorts of grassiness in the aroma--Wheat, hay, straw, with grassy hops--along with some banana yeast. Creamy yeasty and wheaty flavor with some lemon and spice. Among the "moderately priced six packs of American Hefeweizens" I’ve tried, I’d say this is probably the best.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured cloudy and dark orange. Nice bitter flavor, but not too bitter. Hint of citrus.
