Sampled at a craft beer tasting seminar at Curly’s Bar and Grill in Glen Ellyn, IL.. Poured a cloudy, light amber with a modest, white head that diminished quickly to a ring and film, leaving a little spotty lacing. The aroma was slightly spicy, with some brown sugar sweetness, medium fruit, and a little grain. The flavor continued these with less intensity, adding a little tartness and good carbonation.

Pretty standard hefeweizen...bananas and clove in the aroma/flavor. Light carbonation and mouthfeel. Some hints of yeast.

Bottle from Binny’s Beverage Depot in Plainfield, IL: It poured a somewhat hazed, light amber body with a tall eggshell head. Oddly, no lace. It had an aroma of aging apples, caramel, and a splash of mineral water. Light and spritzy mouthfeel. The flavor had the addition of cloves with a touch of lemon that hit the back of the throat. It ends on a fruity, spicey note. Pretty decent.

Light, and carbonated. hopped lightly. watery. Overall its an average hefeweizen.

500ml German style bottle. Pours a deep golden color, fluffy white head. Aroma of cooked bananas, green and caramelized. Very fruity scent. Flavor of cooked mushrooms, some light spice (maybe thyme). Very Earthy. Finishes with a light spicy clove and a fine carbonation. This beer seems to be more of a Hefe-Helles to me. Amazingly tasty. Prost!

Bottle. Deep golden in color with a nice fluffy white head. Fruity banana clove aroma. Malty earthy caramel notes. Banana lemon and spicy flavor. So good it did not need to add lemon. Medium bodied. Finish is spicy. Smooth tasting. Very drinkable.
