Cloudy golden. Light banana and foot on the nose. Banana and very sweet, but with a tart wheaty, spritzy finish. Refreshing despite the initial sugar blast.

Tasting Notes from Fall 2000: ’Unfiltered’ that’s pretty clear. Lemon on rim masks the banana odor, but taste is clearly banana. Pleasant mild beer

Draft. Hazy amber beer with a nice white head. Lemony aroma with some wheat. Clean nicely balanced malt/wheat flavor. Gets a bit tiring, but that may be just me and american wheat beers. Not a big wheat bite.

Apparently it was brewed in the Bavarian tradition. Kind of hazy golden. This one did not show any signs of this. It was bland with light wheat notes and a moderate zesty finish I guess. Perhaps a light fruitiness, but in minute amounts. Not all that great.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours cloudy golden with a modest white head and a slightly sour wheat aroma. There is a sourish wheat flavor that starts fruity with cloves and banana ester, then finishes dry and slightly bitter.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Tasted in Sac at the brewery. Pours a bright golden, hardly foggy at all- head is medium sized. Aroma is faint of wheat but taste is suprisingly weak of sweet, fruity flavors. More like an american wheat.

Sampler @ River City -
I found myself quite suprised that this turned out to be the best beer of the afternoon. Normally, I’m not a huge hefe fan, but this was just a wonderfully fresh beer. Aroma was bursting with bubblegum aroma and bready malts. Flavor had that fresh baked bread flavor, combined with the yeasty-goodness and some really light citrus notes. Excellent, excellent beer and I know next time I drop by, that this beer might just be tops of my list.
