On tap at the Mellow Mushroom in Winter Park, Fl. Sweet bubble gum aroma with a hint of clove. Slightly cloudy, light orange appearance, with not much of a head to speak of. The flavor has some banana notes with some estery qualities. Decently thick mouthfeeln not too carbonated, Very refreshing on a hot Florida summer day.

12 oz bottle obtained in a trade with pjk33 - Thanks Pat! - Pours cloudy orange with a short white carbonated head in my weizen glass constant carbonation rises to the top. Aromas of clove, bannana, yeast, and a touch of spice. Flavor is bananna, clove, a touch of orange peel and a decent spicy finish. On the palate this is light and carbonated decently. Smooth drinking and crisp clean and refreshing. A pretty tasty example of the style..

I first tried this from a variety case. It stood out from the other offerings. Smells of cloves and banana. Nice mouthfeel, almost electric. Nice light orange color. Pours a nice head in a Weiss Bier glass. A very refreshing beer on a hot summer afternoon.

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.
