HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada May 23, 2007 Draught. At Hackneys pub in Chicago. A perfect little beer for a hot humid day after walking around for 2 hours. Light hazy gold, decent white head. Aroma of bananas, sweet candy malt and mild spices - pleasing! Taste is similar, with lemon juice and a bit of caramel to the malt. Light body, weak carbonation - has a quick finish and a slightly paper aftertaste - ultimately just quenching, smelled better than it tasted. Aurelius (2643), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Apr 18, 2007 Translucent, foggy gold, thin lacing head. Light nose, which is surprising given the fruitiness of the3 beer. Tangy, bananas-and-cereal flavor. Moderate phenols. Medium light body. FInishes walnut and banana in the high palate. Decent. On tap, Clarke St Ale House, Chicago. Tmoney99 (4652), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Mar 18, 2007 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber hue with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Good wheat and banana aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium well balanced spicy flavor with a good sweet finish of moderate duration. Good soft drinkable beer. alexanderj (2212), Chino Hills, California, USA Mar 13, 2007 I really enjoyed this; good mouthfeel and flavor. One of the better hefes i’ve had. Nice cloudy appearance, with some aroma of bubblegum and banana; clove and some floral presence as well. Good body, light and drinkable. AOF (282), Naperville, Illinois, USA Mar 6, 2007 Poured from a 12oz bottle. Golden, grilled citrus color with a thin white head. Like all unfiltered beers this one is pretty cloudy, however this one is "cleaner than most" with almost no visible sediment(floaters). Nose on this is sweet and malty, lots of summer florals, apricot, and banana. Hints of yeast, bubblegum, and mild clove. Light bodied and a bit thin, but highly drinkable. This beer screams for summer. jstraw (750), Chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 22, 2007 Updated: Jun 30, 2007Cloudy pale orange with fair white head / medium body/ high carbonation and subdued flavors of banana, orange and clove / an understated, light, expression of this style. lovemyipas (420), sw burbs, Illinois, USA Jan 29, 2007 Updated: Jun 28, 2007pours a very cloudy dark neon yellow orange with a two finger fluffy white head, and has a lot of sediment hence the very cloudy and unfiltered look. aroma is a nice sweet lemony wheat with some vanilla and clove and some banana. has a medium body with some descent lacing. flavor is banana, wheat, and clovewith a touch of vanilla. a very nice american wheat beer possibly one of the best?! has a nice little carbonation to it and a very full mouthfeel. i think this is definetly underrated! myself and a couple of other’s that tried this at the same time think it is comparable to hacker-pschorr hefe weiss. EithCubes (2140), Indiana, USA Jan 12, 2007 Bottle. Marked aroma of wheat, yeast, clove, and vanilla - the vanilla is an excellent addition here. Phenols aren’t bad. Golden pour with a short, sticky white head. Different kind of spiciness here, and bitterer than most Weisse. Clove, yeast, wheat, vanilla, a little zest, but darker than expected. Palate is medium-full and prickly, smooth after a swish. Light acidity. Finish is dry with slight honey. Well-made, interesting, delicious!
