Cloudy golden color,large white head that faded quickly but left a decent lace behind.Nice wheaty bannana aroma.The taste was not as great as i thought it might be.Of course a nice bannana flavor with a decent wheaty side and then the hops just don’t show up at all.

Cloudy golden color with nice white head. Aroma of banana and a bit of spice. Bit of bread in there but banana is the dominate. The clove is in the background with this one but still there. I like the banana front on hefes so this works. Very nice.

Pours a cloudy golden hue with a frothy white head. Aromas of banana, clove, bread and more banana. Mouth feel is medium bodied with a lingering finish. Flavors of the same as the aroma with a hint of ginger and a light sweetness. Very refreshing. I normally don’t like adding fruit with beer but a slice of citrus fruit would compliment this one well.

Bottle. Pretty sweet flavor, with hints of banana and bubble gum. Strong wheaty aroma and smooth mouthfeel. Pretty good, but maybe just a little too sweet.

Golden color with lots of clouds from the yeast. Really citrusy smell up front with lots of undertones of sweet fruit. The flavor is crisp and a lot like banana laffy taffy.....maybe a tad on the sweet side. Great mouthfeel for a hefe, really fizzy and almost burns like a great soda. German hefe’s are really under rated on this site, and it makes me really sad.

Wheaty blonde, lightly hazy, with ring of head. Crisp aroma of wheat, light malted grain, and some wheat sourness, very little yeast or phenols. More reminiscent of an American Wheat. Flavor is a refreshing, flavorful mild banana wheat. Crisp and light on the palate. Very pleasant and delicately flavored.
