Draft at Pennsylvania BC. Poured a small white fizzy head that mostly dissipated, fine sized bubbles, sparse lacing, hazy, no visible carbonation, and a straw yellow hue. Aroma was malty, banana, spicy, and clove. Sweet, acidic, malty, banana, clove, and spicy flavor. Tingly and dry mouthfeel. Medium body.

Sampled out of the bottle. Poured straw yellow with a thin white head. Aroma was funky, perhaps the bottle was too old. There was too much bitterness in the taste for a wheat beer. Perhaps I am not as impressed as I should be.

Light straw color - thin body & bubbly. Flavor of a standard thin wheat beer, a bit tart, with hints of grapefruit, orange. My sample was small, I’ll have to get a full bottle to really get a feel for this.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized long lasting white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body contained no visible carbonation, was hazy and light yellow brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of typical mild weizen banana malty and fruity. Its mouth feel is initially slightly tingly and semi-thick with a mellow palate and a lingering aftertaste. Its flavor contained malty banana notes and was very tasty. All-in-all very nice brew.

Pours a hazy light gold with a decent amount of fizzy white head. Aroma is sweet fruit with undertones of grassy hay. Flavor is sweet bananas and sugared oranges with a smooth finish. Overall, a decent brew that I found to go good with a sweet desert.

Harrisburg Beer Festival 2... Draft... Murky, sunshine yellow ale with a tiny, creamy, white head. Apple, mandarin orange, tobacco, clove and apricot in the nose. Well-balanced, citrusy flavor with traces of spice and lemon peel. Light-bodied and fizzy. Short, crisp, clean finish. Not a fan of this Summer style... and this festival was (appropriately) full of them.

Golden hazy appearance, and a wheat undertone. Citrus aroma invites you to quaff this lawnmower beer.
