Sep 2, 2008 On tap at the brewpub, great upfront wheat flavor. Strong citrus notes, minimal yeast flavors (esp for the style). Lacking the metal flavors that come with poorly made hefes, this one was good but not amazing.

Jun 24, 2008 draft at alibi room in vancouver. naturally i’d pick the lowest rated thing... though it doesn’t look like CA beers get much love anyways. pours a hefty brown orange, super opaque, looks like plastic. minimal dirty head. smelled of bananas and cloves, no surprise there, pretty good. taste is very light, pretty watery. kinda wish i’d seen the sampler at the bottom before ordering 20oz of this. nevertheless, it’s been a while since my last drink and this is pretty refreshing, hard to complain. call me a sucker for a hefeweizen

Nov 2, 2007 @GCBF-on tap-pours a white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is clove, musty/barnyard wheat. Taste is clove that fades and then banana, musty/barnyard wheat-some sweet. OK effervescence.

Sep 3, 2007 Rather flat, yellow appearance. Light yeasty & citrusy aroma. Decent, but mild flavors of yeast and light cloves. A refreshing mid-summer styled german hefe.

Jul 26, 2007 Draught sample from brewpub. Very light hefeweizen aroma with only a hint of wheat. Some banana and clove but not much. Thought it was filtered but it’s not, and I had a larger glass for lunch to try again. Slight hazy golden with thin off-white lacing head. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Has a decent German wheat profile with wheat and banana. Not very spicy and overall is a bit more watery /thin in the taste profile. Has a mild tang like watered down tea. Falls just short of a really good hefeweizen.

Jul 7, 2007 Foggy gold, white head. Fruity aroma, pineapple, banana, nutmeg. Taste is cinnamon, banana, citrus. Good hefe.

Jul 4, 2007 Pours a cloudy yellow with nearly no head, and an aroma of cleaning-product citrus and slight honeysuckle. Thin wheat malting, hops kicks in near the end and the taste opens up a bit with a spicy citrusy finish. Very thin body, none of the creamy lightness I’d expect from a good hefe. This is overattenuated or under-malted. Good spiciness, but otherwise lacking.
