| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 19, 2006 Cloudy, amber/orange appearance; thin white head, little lacing. Spicy (cloves), yeasty aroma. Taste is tart, tangy, mildly spiced, balanced by a bit of sweetness. Smooth, medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel. Short lived finish with an acidic edge.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 14, 2006 Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a foamy white head. Standard hefe goings on with banana, clove and citrus notes. Everything seems a bit toned down but it works as a decent Summer brew. Strykzone (1469), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Aug 1, 2006 Mix of orange and brown in color makes this an unusual sight for a hefe. No foam at all until the bottle was almost completely in the glass. Most of what I taste is clove with a hint of lemon. Very little banana flavor. In the mouth it is smooth and crisp with just a hint of tartness in the back of the tongue. This one was a pleasant drinking and well crafted beer. iowaherkeye (1852), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 30, 2006 12oz, Best by 11/03/06. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a tiny white head. Aromas of typical banana and clove, some lemon, and a weird bitter plastic smell. This is a little more sour than I’d expect a hefe to be, but you can’t win ’em all. Medium bodied, moderate-light carbonation, somewhat creamy mouthfeel. Not too bad, doesn’t quite compare to my Weihenstephaner-I spelled it right on the first try. stoutchap (297), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 24, 2006 Enjoyable, but maybe a little off for a hef. Pours any orange-y color, which seemed a little odd to me. Nice aroma, some clove and sweetness. Malty start, Cirtusy middle, with a soft finish. Like to cook with this one. smoosh (523), New Albany, Indiana, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 15, 2006 Bottle - aroma was somewhat subdued. Some of the clove and a bit a banana mixed with the malt. Color was a bit lighter than the orange in the description, but nice nonetheless. A small ring of white foam atop. Very tart flavor. No where near what I think of when I think of a hefe, but I like it anyway. Quite refreshing!
