pint_size (1002), Austin, Texas, USA May 5, 2008 4-24-08 tap at Delilahs in Chicago.
Clear yellow with a hazy hint to it and little to no head. Smells of old lemon and no real funk or character is in the nose at all. Taste is as bland as the smell. This just doesn’t seem to be a good or fair representation of the style at all.
kosko20 (53), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA Jul 30, 2008 Really surprised by this one, basically went into this without any knowledge of the beer. Good aroma of orange and pine with hints of other citruses. Appearance is a nice cloudy pale gold orange, with a small off white head that fades quickly. Flavor is orange, hops and pine with hints of other citrus and malt. Goes down smooth and finishes, hmmm, just slightly bitter. Overall, impressed and refreshed. Dezzilu (167), Versailles, France Jul 17, 2008 A nice cloudy golden appearance in the glass, a swirling, murky mist. Aroma was faint but perhaps a hint of citrus fruit. The flavor was smooth and refreshing, but quite ho-hum. It did finish clean, but never really struck a chord with me. A really nice summer beer that shouldn’t be turned down, but don’t expect to be blown away. Cheers. Crosling (1620), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jul 2, 2008 Cloudy orange yellow. Wispy, soapy foam that lasts pretty well. Nose is pretty disappointing and only shows light touches of character. Mainly banana notes with hints if corn and husk. As it opens up and warms, it becomes much more palatable. Fairly nice flavor profile, consisting of banana, clove and spice. A respectable, drinkable example. thejoeshow (88), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Jun 26, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy pale yellow color with a white head that laces fairly well but lacks retention. The head drops down to small ring pretty quick. The nose is very subtle. It almost smells like banana laffy taffy with a dash of spice. It is not too overpowering when you stick your nose in the glass. Very smooth flavor, banana, clove, spice. Very typical, but what I think sets this apart is that it all aspects are not overpowering. This would be a good Hefe for people who don’t normally like Hefe’s. Like a "gateway" Hefe. Busted_Flat (401), Edina, Minnesota, USA Jun 20, 2008 Poured cloudy yellow with banana and spice aroma. Taste was of a typical hefe, banana, clove with some lemony citrus. Not bland.
