| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 18, 2005 Ultra deep hazed gold, fluffy white head. Your standard hefe nose of citrus, clove, banana, fresh bread, with an underlying bubblegum tone. Taste was quite wheaty with spices, citrus, and bubblegum dominating throughout. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, light, airy, drying wheat finish. Good brew for a hot summer day....

A bit more bitter than some others, this still sports a fruity flavor and a pancake taste. Light enough for the whole family to enjoy, and what can I say, I still think a 16oz bottle is pretty novel. gws57 (1137), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 27, 2005 Had this one on draught in Milwaukee. Nose of cloves and banana, cloudy orange color, thin nose, taste of orange and spice. Pretty good. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 24, 2005 It’s almost a tad Belgian in its flavor. I can’t quite pin it down, but it’s surprisingly bitter for a hefe. I do not think the flavor is dead on for the style at all. Quite a bit of spice. One of the hoppiest German Hefes I’ve ever had. If you like the sound of that combo, this is for you! cfranz (261), Acton, Massachusetts, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Feb 20, 2005 Little to no head, poured a murky yellow. At first I was worried that not having a lemon at hand would hamper my enjoyment of this hefe. But I don’t think a lemon would have helped it. Flat and funny tasting.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 22, 2005 Very cloudy yellow color with a small white head. Aroma has lots of clove and some banana hints. Flavor is dead-on for the style: yeast and clove with hints of banana. Refreshing but not light and wimpy. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 7, 2005 Pretty, pretty stuff. Brilliant orange-gold, opaque and shimmering, nice, fluffy head. Nose crisp, lots of banana and clove. Flavor is very fruity, citrus and banana, spicy and yeasty. Palate very full. Nice stuff. Jedsbrew (465), Rhineland, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 22, 2004 Hazy golden /orange color, lots of yeasties, moderate head with good lacing and a fresh and citrusy clove aroma. Light to medium bodied, lemon, orange and clove flavors with a mild lingering banana sweetness in the finish. Quite flavorful and made the Erdinger Weiss I sampled with it seem a little washed out. One from their excellent variety pack.
