Tap at Ginger Man. Hazy pale amber beer, thin white head. Great fresh banana and wheaty bready character. Light peach and melon over a rich clove and sweet bready malt character. There is a lovely balance of crisp wheat, rich toastiness and light spicy yeastiness. Flavour is good, sweet banana, peach and lots of clovey yeasty spiciness. Lots of melon and peach fruitiness. Low acidity and bitterness. A bit of prickly wheat acidity on the finish. Doughy and toasty. Light noble hops on the back as well. Nice hefe.

Tap at Spuyten. Pours a hazy deep golden/orange with modest carbonation and a fizzy white head that diminishes in the tulip. Aroma is frutiy and estery, light banan, more skewed towards the clovey phenolics, with hints of vanilla- doughy yeasty and wheat malts. Smooth and powerful wheat flavor with light esters, good phenols, dough, moderate sweetness, and light fusels as it warms. Smooth flavor and finish. Nice strong Hefe/ weizenbock.

On tap at HDG. Pale blonde yellow in color with a nice fluffy white head. Banana, clove aroma. Spicy notes. Malty fruity spicy flavor. Full bodied. Finish is malty. Well balanced beer. Very drinkable. Enjoyable. I would definitely get this again.

12oz handbottle, courtesy of artusory. Thanks, Ryan! Pours a hazy, orangish yellow color; off-white head with light lacing. Yeast and belgian sugars in the aroma. Relaxed carbonation. Medium, chewy mouthfeel: plenty of yeasts and sugar, with some creamy bananas and esters filling things out. Nothing remarkable here, but tasty with a pleasant belgian profile. Medium, sugary and yeasty finish.
