Dogbrick (5995) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - SEP 13, 2010
UPDATED: NOV 18, 2010 Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a murky orange-yellow color with a thin white head that burns away to a film relatively fast. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of bubblegum and wheat. Light, clean body with flavors of banana, bubblegum and cloves. The finish is wheaty with a sweet banana aftertaste. Slightly above average Hefe overall.

swoopjones (4196) - Buffalo, New York, USA - FEB 27, 2008
Growler courtesy of Bill Metzger. Nice hefe. Aromas of banana, clovey. Supposedly modeled after Weinhenstephaner. Not as good but better than large majority of American attempts Ive come across. Well balanced & quite good

opaque yellow, creamy white head, solid lace, sweet banana aroma balanced by light clove, creamy body, banana flavor with a tempered sweetness, nice clove balance, the banana and clove continue to take turns at trying to dominate, eventually the clove wins in the finish

sliffy (2037) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - AUG 17, 2007
On tap @ Rocky River: Pours a cloudy gold with a white head. Aroma, lemons, wheat and some yeasty notes. Flavor, lemon, tart, wheat and some bready notes. Very generic hefe.

crizay (1050) - Brook Park, Ohio, USA - FEB 20, 2007
Pours yellow big yellow head. Loved how they said they use weihenstephan yeast I love that yeast. The aroma is banana all the way. The flavor is much the same banana, cloves, some lemon and hallerataus, it tasted exactly like a hefe I made, good beer.

StewardofGondor (1934) - Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 18, 2007
Hazy, pale and lemon-tinted caramel orange in color with a persistent white snowcap for the head. Sugary bananas are aromatically represented with a buttercream base and milky vanilla characteristics. Sweet cream sings with vanilla wafers, and a slight waft of cotton rides its coattails. Creaminess drops for the lemon banana chiffon flavor to come full circle. The vanilla’s there, in a wafer crust sort of way, getting soggy as the banana persists upon it. Gentle carbonation lacks the effervescence, but the pastry portrayal fills in for her flavor. The otherwise medium body kilters toward yogurt intuitions, encouraging vanilla, lemons and bananas with a subtle breezy bitterness in the end.

On tap at the brewpub. Hazy gold color with a small white head. Aroma of bananas and spices. Tastes of citrus and banana. Overall a good Hefe.

OhioDad (2493) - Hilliard, Ohio, USA - JUL 1, 2006
On tap at the brewpub on 6/28/06 - Pours cloudy golden with a short white head that stayed pretty well and laced the sides of the glass. Nice aromas of cloves, bannanas, and bubblegum. Taste is of bannana mostly but some clove can be found as well as a touch of the bubblegum on the finish. Carbonated pretty well to make this refreshing.
