| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 3, 2008 Poured an off lemony yellow color that was a little darker for a hefe. Also, true to style the beer was clear and crisp. The head retention was ok but dissipated over lime. The lacing also was limited. The smell was very sweet. Not really a German smell but more of an American feel. A limited wheat smell but some lighter spice and fruity citrus smell. Limited but not bad. The taste was similar. Very crisp with a light honey taste to it. Really the taste was boarder line cider feel to it. A light citrus lemony flavor with a good bite at the end. No real definite spice flavor noticeable but if you look for it some white pepper at the end. A light body and sweet honey feel mixed with a smooth yeast, which is much better then those skunky German feels, brings out a pretty good beer. MIBRomeo (1965), Wisconsin, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 17, 2007 Clear gold in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas of lemon and a bit of peach and banana. Flavor wise, there’s more banana and lemon, along with some peppery hop and black current notes. There’s a raw grassy bitterness that comes in at the end, and seems to dirty things up a bit. A bit of a downer. tytoanderso (1386), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA
