swoopjones (1115), Buffalo, New York, USA Aug 29, 2008 on tap @ Blind Tiger Sierra Nevada tasting. Very nice american made hefe. Pours a cloudy light yellow. Clovy, banana light citrus aroma. Taste follows the aroma up correctly. Nice beer Delirium (430), Santa Cruz, California, USA Aug 26, 2008 Draught at 99 Bottles in Santa Cruz. Lightly cloudy yellow with a moderate white head. Aroma is light banana, somewhat sweet, with a bit of clove. Flavor is the same, with a small bit of hops in the finish, and a good bit of yeastiness. Slightly sweet, though none of the bubble-gum sweetness of some hefeweizens. Not exceptional, but solid. 19641948 (492), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA Jun 6, 2008 Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a bleached head. Lively aromas with an augmented feel of clove, lemon, and banana. Mild grain flavor gives way to a boost of spicing and yeastiness. "Ruthless" is appropriate: this beer has oomph. ahalloin (45), Arlington, Virginia, USA May 17, 2008 I had this beer at the Sierra Nevada tasting at the Brickskeller in DC. Pours a yellowy-golden unfilitered (or lightly filtered as Steve Grossman said) look with a good amount of head. The head retention is fantastic. The aroma is of orange peel, clove, and maybe some banana. The beer imparts a lovely bouquet of spicy wheat, clove, and non-descript fruit in a smooth medium-sized mouthfeel. riversideAK (1579), Shoreline, Washington, USA Apr 20, 2008 Hazy golden yellow. Aroma of wheat cereal, bubble gum, clove, and banana. The flavor is very similar. Medium carbonated, smooth, and rather light.
