Jun 12, 2007 Picked up a four-pack from the Sprecher brewery (also available in the tasting kits). Pours a hazy golden yellow brew with a thin off-white head and leaves an average lacing. Aroma of a typical hefeweizen, banana esters, sweet wheat and some cordiander. Taste is medium bodied, fruity, character of light molasses, and some black pepper. Finish is a little gritty with some lingering yeast palate.

Jun 9, 2007 Somehow they made a German hefeweizen. Cloudy gold color and lots of sediment. Banana and citrus in the aroma, and a sweet wheat flavor of a medium quality hefeweizen. Well done.

Jun 9, 2007 Thanks Skyview for sharing. Hazy yellow color with fain head. Wheat and banana on the nose. Banana body with a unique banana like fruit taste. Surprisingly good for a sorghum beer.

Jun 8, 2007 Thanks to skyview. Pours a hazy orangish color with a tiny whitish head. Smells like a hefe, which is wird because it is a gluten free beer. Definate banana on the flavor, but really neat as it has some wheat beer funky yeast spiciness. Very good for a gluten free beer.

Jun 3, 2007 Brewed with sorgham and millet so no wheat and barley but it similar in taste to hefe-weisen style. Light, sour tartness. Bananas, clove, cordiander. Best Sprecher I’ve had so far but not my thing.

May 13, 2007 Those poor souls who can’t handle wheat! This is absolutely terrible - I can’t believe it’s up this high. Has a sour, almost horrifically sour bite of vinegar and something else. Not good at all.

May 6, 2007 This pours a very hazy apricot body that chock full of particulates and is topped by a small, creamy off-white head. The aroma is that of a watery orange juice with a splash of vanilla extract. Tastes a bunch like watery OJ, too, with some pureed bananas and mild brown spices. This is an interesting experiment by Sprecher, but I doubt I’ll be having it again. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=166> Discount Liquor, Milwaukee, WI<font size=-1>
