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.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear, medium orange-golden color; enormous, off-white head with web-like lacing. Some cloves and doughy notes in the aroma. Medium mouthfeel: cloves and a light ester presence upfront; average carbonation; slightly fluffy and uninspired in the mouth. Tastes kind of one-dimensional after the Wagner Valley Summer Sail. Medium, dry citrus and doughy finish.

Bottle; poured a clear gold with only a small head. Aroma of banana, spice and yeast. Flavor was not as good as the aroma. Alot of wheat, not much banana or spice. Poor palate. Maybe I should have had this when it was warmer out; however, I was still disappointed overall with it.

12 ounce bottle in weizen glass. Very cloudy dark orange with thick dense head. Aroma of lemon, clove, banana. Very Bavarian flavor of banana and wheat grassy tang with slightly tart finish. Blindfolded, I would have thought this came from Germany. Slight throaty bitterness in the aftertaste is the only thing that detracts from this otherwise excellent hefe.

Draft at Wildside BBQ. Pours a cloudy, glowing orange-amber body with a large, foamy, snow-white head. The head shows excellent retention and leaves nice, random snakes of lacing behind on the glass. Aromas include banana, orange, bready yeast, and coriander. The flavor follows suit exactly, though the citrus sweetness is kicked up a few notches. The body is on the lighter side of medium, with a somewhat sticky, syrupy consistency. Goes down smooth, but sits a little heavy due to the sweetness. Pretty straightforward, decent-at-best brew. Nothing special here.
