Pint on tap. Nearly opaque pear-orange color with a lasting quarter inch of foam. Aroma of spicy banana, caramel and light citrus and resin. Taste is the same. Light-medium body is balanced well and has medium carbonation.

Shag (2439) - Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA - JAN 7, 2013
A yellow appearance with a white head. The aroma contains some lemons, bananas, and bready notes. The flavor is rather sweet with more bananas and bubblegum than citrus notes. The finish is refreshing on a hot day. These guys are so hit or miss, this one is a hit.

PorterPounder (4611) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - NOV 24, 2012
Savannah, Ga - Habersham Beverage Warehouse - 12 oz bottle. Hazy dark golden pour, soft white head that leaves plenty of lacing. Nice clove essence in the aroma. Flavor is standard hefeweizen with some artificial banana flavor, a hint of cloves, a touch of yeast. Mouthfeel is pretty thick. Refreshing - decent hefe.

Malty_MacHops (562) - Eastanollee, Georgia, USA - OCT 10, 2012
I really liked this. The nose is light with notes of clove and bread. The beer is hazy golden with a large rocky white head. The taste is bread sweet with big clove and lemon citrus power and just the smallest subtle banana note. Light, refreshing and crisp. A great summer beer.

maxwelldeux (2222) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - SEP 14, 2012
Bottle. Pours a like gold with a moderate, but quickly disappearing head. Not hugely aromatic or flavorful, but there are some hints of citrus, floral, and spices in there. A little sweeter on the palate.

Westmeister (937) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - JUL 16, 2012
Draft @ Taco Mac Cumming. Pours an unclear muted yellow with smaller head and good lacing. Smell is big banana and some spice. Taste is light citrus, banana, clove, sweetness, nice spicy finish. This is banana thru and thru and loved it on the hot night I downed it.

aracauna (2855) - Georgia, USA - JUL 15, 2012
This is a hefeweizen? Really? Ok. It looks like one, pale and hazy. I can accept that this is a wheat beer, but I didn’t notice the banana and clove yeast notes of the style. What I did notice was that this is a hoppy beer. Seems like the bastard child of a hefe and a hoppy pils. It’s a good beer and a good summer seasonal, just not a to-style hefeweizen.

AR (856) - Georgia, USA - JUL 13, 2012
This beer has a very hazy appearance and a yellow coloring. There is a sharpness in each sip which includes a metallic twang and flavors of spices, banana, a a faint grassiness. The aftertaste is somewhat short-lived.

TURDFERGUSON (3565) - Carrboro, North Carolina, USA - JUL 5, 2012
Layered cloudy yellow, all the yellow rises to the top. Tiny ring of white lace. Nose is typical plastic, banana, nutmeg, citrus peel. Some notes of skunk and wet dog. Flavor is watery banana, light hints of cinnamon and citrus in finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Pours unclear gold with a white head. Fruity and spicy aroma with light banana notes. The flavor has fruity banana-like sweetness, a hint of spice, and a spritzy mouthfeel. Decent.
