Commercial Description:
Summer is here, so why hot try our new Summertime Wheat? This refreshing, lightly hopped ale has unique banana and clove-like charachteristics and it's served with the yeast. We add just a little bit of rye malt to give it a Texas kick!

Light cloudy gold, frothy/creamy white lasting head. Aroma is okay; sweet wheaty cereal cloves. Very refreshing sweet wheaty taste with some very slight sour banana. Has a bit of a very slight astringent wheat aftertaste that I don’t care for. But without that, I like it.

Bottled. Pours a cloudy gold/yellow colour with small white head. Aroma and flavour are dominated by citrus with some spice lingering in the back. Interesting that there was also a sour funk to it. Better than average.

Pours gold with a generous white head. Smells like wheat with some citrussy hints. Tastes of typical hefeweizen spice, but they taste forced and artificial,. Lysol on the finish.

Deep golden wheat ale that pours with a small head that diminishes rapidly. The beer is clean and leaves no foam on the glass. It is appreciably cloudy. It has strong aromas of clove, spice, and wheat malt. The flavor is full and refreshing with flavors of banana, dry wheat, and vanilla. The beer has a medium body and a little fizz that makes it refreshing sip after sip. This is pretty flavorful, enjoyable brew.

Poured a nice golden orange color that was slightly cloudy. A nice head popped up and there was streaky lacing. The aroma was mild funk, yeast and citrus. The flavor followed suit with the subtle funk giving what would probably be just another hefeweizen some real character. I laughed out loud at TomDecapolis’ rating, because I was standing in my kitchen drinking this wondering if the brewers meant to do this or not? A nice surprise.

murky gold pour with no head. malts, wheat and clove on the nose. actually very smooth on the palate with only 2 flavors that stand out the most. bananas and cloves. the cloves are more noticeable than the banana though.
