On tap at KSBF ’08. Hazy gold body topped by a small head. Lemony citrus nose. Tastes of lemon and earth. A little different but very good.

Tried this at beerfest, number 13. Read it was a great beer from the Mens Journals I read. Unfortunitly, I can’t taste any more due to being drunk. This wheat beer added to my enjoyable time. I wouldn’t mind having it again to give it a better chance at representing itself.

Poured a hazy yellow color with a big white head. Aroma was lots of spices, tons of cloves. The flavor is so clovey it almost tastes like a ham beer, not too great.

Pours a murky yellow orange with a one to two finger frothy white head. The nose is wheaty, lightly sour, some lemongrass, clove, banana, very estery. The flavor is similar, clove and banana esters, a little ctirus peel bite, wheaty. Crisp mouthfeel. Not bad, drinkable.

12 oz bottle from LooseCannon. Muddy gold with a slight white head. Nice banana and clove scent over solid wheat. Flavor is yeasty fruity, spicy clove and banana with touches of lemon. Tasty - and this is a style I’m not crazy about. Nice medium body, soft, with a pretty clean finish. Good.

Date: 09/05/08, 12 oz. bottle

Aroma - Yeast, light fruit notes, faint spiciness, but not the big clove/banana thing going on, although it’s in there, just subdued. Still, very inviting aroma

Appearance - Turbid gold pour with a rapidly building large white head, that unfortunately, settles a little too quickly, and lace is marginal

Flavor - Light maltiness with a bit of lemon like tartness that provides a welcome sour bite. A zesty bitterness at the end brings on a nice dry finish.

Palate - Light body, lots of carbonation, very clean palate

Overall - Nice, easy drinking hefe, not overly bold, but with enough character to hold its own
