Apr 14, 2007 Hand-bottle thanks to Dickinsonbeer, sampled in Nov. 2006: Pours a slightly hazy copper bronze with a thin ring of lightly-lacing off-white head. Great smoky wheaty banana clove aroma has good complexity. Body starts lightly sweet and malted wheaty with a nice balance of mild German hops. Palate is average, but could be a touch thicker. Very true to style, however, and enjoyable.

Jul 14, 2006 Sampled from Growler, filled the day before, courtesy of egajdzis. Poured a deep and murky golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of bananas, smoke (the smoke in the aroma came out more as the beer warmed up), bubble gum and spices. Tastes of wheat, smoke, bananas (both smoke & bananas lighter in the tastes than the aromas), and spices. The smoked aspect was done nicely (wasn’t overpowering and worked well with everything else).

Nov 27, 2006 Poured a hazy amber color. Huge smokey aroma that smells a like spent fireworks, but not in a bad way. Flavor of smoke and bananas. Light to medium bodyied. Semi-dry finish with a hint of spice.
