5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
One of the best beers I’ve ever had. I can’t say enough good things about it and every time I drink it, I’m reminded of how good it really is. It has the perfect amount of carbonation and goes down smooth. I love the banana/citrus aroma and taste.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Poured into my 12oz. Sudwerk glass. Color is golden, and quite cloudy. Head is thin and fades very quickly. Aroma is complex, full of citrus, coriander, clove, and slight banana hints. Flavor is as complex as the aroma, starting sour and citrusy, and developing into a sweeter finish with hints of coriander or clove. Feel compliments flavor nicely with a fizzy, medium light body. I garnished with fresh home grown lemon, making this a great hefe!

Classic banana clove aroma. Sweet and silky smooth. Excellent cloudiness. Very good.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Simply terrific. Smooth and fairly mild, this beer smacks of the German yeastiness and wheatiness that makes a German wheat great. I’d like to see how it stacks up against some of the all-time great wheats, like Hacker-Pschorr Weisse. It’s somewhat citrusy and a touch sour with little spiciness. Light in color, like a Hoegaarden.

UPDATED: DEC 5, 2003 Rerate: Unbelievable banana nose and falvors - the right mix of sweet and slight citrus sour, hefty body - unfiltered - excellent, and much fresher than I suspect my first sample was. Among the top German Hefes in the land. The following is from way back in April, 2002 - and I obviosly know ABSOLUTELY nothing about whaet beer. ------Very Belgian wit-like. The nose on this is sooooo sweet, way way down. For hours I could drift in and out of consciousness with that smell wafting over me. Also sweet flavors, very grassy, as others have mentioned, a good bit of banana. Solid, and I don't know much about wheats. I'm fixin' to learn, however...

Banana and wheat malt aroma with esters in the background.
Almost a lemon color, hazy, with a white sticky head, and some action.
Banana and a bready wheat grain malt taste with a hint of butter in the background.
Light bodied, slight butter and watery/resin feel, with lively soft carbonation that seems to be krausened.
Very drinkable this sixer will be gone shortly.

This is a really nice hefe. Good aroma. Very fruity but not banana. Light and airy. One of the best beers I had at the festival.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Served w/lemon in glass. Light yellow but nicely hazy. Substantial banana. Soft going into mouth, nice soft body, yet not insubstantial. Broad flavors of banana, yeast, low spice component. Well done. Refreshing and yummy. (on tap at 21st Amendment)
