Dogbrick (2166), Columbus, Ohio, USA Apr 20, 2008 Sample at the brewpub (as Hefe-Wei-Zen). This beer is a cloudy yellow lemonade color with a medium thin bone white head that diminishes steadily. Thin rings of lacing. Aroma of wheat, banana and cloves. Light, clean body with wheat and spice flavors and banana along for the ride the whole time. The finish is wheaty with a lingering malt and spice aftertaste. Tastes better than it looks, but that is not saying a whole lot.
egajdzis (2879), Terrapin, Pennsylvania, USA May 25, 2008 [Draft @ brewpub] Poured a hazy, light golden color, with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of bananas, light clove, some sulphur, and citrus. Taste of banana, clove, and wheaty, tart citrus. BelgianBeerGal (858), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Feb 2, 2008 Draught at brewpub. Hazy yellow colour with a thin white head. Big banana in the aroma (I’m not a banana fan so I’ll try to remain objective) and maybe a little yeast. More banana in the flavour but really lacking the spice to make it a great hefe. kp (6000), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Name: Hefe-Wei-Zen

hazy dark yellow, scant head, sweet banana aroma, lots of banana character, only a hint of clove (just right), touch of bitterness in a complex wheat finish, too much one-dimensional banana character?
