Very cloudy, very pale yellow appearance. Marshmallowy sweet, with a light spiciness (cinnamon). Slightly dry and earthy. Well-made.

Opaque amber body with medium beige head. Aroma is sweet banana, some raisin, wheat, light clove. Taste is sweet, banana, wheat, finishing anise. Highly carbonated, tart, with medium body.

12 oz bottle-pours a thin white head. Color is a semi-cloudy gold/straw. Aroma is wheat&sweet. Taste is wheat, pear (clove) and has good carbonation.

Draft...GBOA ’06... Cloudy, straw-colored ale with a large, frothy, white head. Great retention. Tons of clove phenols in the aroma; nothing else, in fact. Clove-laden flavor as well with some subtle citrus fruit. Way too sweet and spicy; no semblance of balance. Between light and medium-bodied. Creamy with lively carbonation. Crisp, spicy finish. Everything I don’t like about hefes is in this one.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours hazy gold with a large foamy off-white head. Aroma is clove. Med body; foamy carb. Flavor is primarily clove. It’s certainly not a dull beer. Seems to have grassish hop bitter. Finishes dryish.

Draft at Gaslight brewpub. Poured cloudy yellow color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate banana clove sour citrus aroma. Medium body with lively carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a solid sour citrus sweet finish of moderate duration. Good refreshing brew.
