Phantom Canyon Hefeweizen

On tap @ Phantom Canyon poured a cloudy yellow with a small lingering white head. Aromas of banana, wheat, clove and yeast. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of wheat, banana and light clove with a smooth lingering banana finish.

Draught at the brewery. Beer is cloudy, light-to-medium brassy-caramel brown. Head is small, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting head.<P>The aroma is malty with a light note of toasted bread; Hoppy with a light floral note; Yeasty with trace notes of sweat, dough, light notes of basement and banana/clove; Moderate miscellaneous notes of orange zest, coriander.<P>The flavor is light/moderately acidic/juicy, lightly sweet, trace bitter with a lightly acidic, trace sweet finish. Slightly rubbery and husky retros, spice-particle finish is kind of squeaky and unclean.<P>The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is soft-to-lively.<P>Mostly OK, but seems over-spiced.

On tap at the Phantom Canyon Brewery. Hazy, almost cloudy lemonade yellow body with white head. Banans and wheat in both the nose and the body with a bit of a yeast bit.

On tap at the Phantom Canyon Brew Pub. Poured a light and cloudy yellow color with a small sized white head. My first impression was that this was very weak looking for a Hefe. Aromas of clove and bananas. Tastes of cloves, bananas, lemons, and wheat. Light lacing left on the glass. Thinner body.

[Colorado Road Trip – 2006] This was a nice deep golden unfiltered color. The aroma strong banana and the taste were also very good. I liked this Hefe.
