bottle courtesy of Styles. pours a moderately cloudy yellow-gold with a large pillowy head. aroma was more floral than I expected as opposed to many hefe’s with a yeasty banana nose. flavor was mild and well rounded with notes of peppery spice, hints of yeast and banana. solid, very drinkable hefe.

Aug 30, 2008 Pours a cloudy copper, with a fizzy body, but minus the creamy head I associate with the better hefes (ie. Weihenstephaner) - somewhat sweet aroma, with lots of clove, a spicy, ginger-like character, tangy citrus fruits, and grain - fairly dry and tart, bordering on sour - quite bready and yeasty, with quite a spicy clove flavor - because of how dry the beer is, the yeastiness creates an odd mouthfeel on top of it - finish of stale hops and light bubblegum and fruitiness - lacking quite a bit of character.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle. Heavy wheat nose, faint vanilla and clove. Just a splash of honey and citrus. Golden pour with a short beige head. Very dry, bland, overly carbonated, overly yeasty taste, a lightly sour tang with a lightly floral grainy touch. Medium, soft, slightly oily body. Pass!
