1FastSTi (2551), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA Nov 6, 2005 Pours to a loud sounding fizzy off-white head atop a hazy straw-colored body. The aroma is light for a hefe. Cloves, bananas. The flavor is light as well. Sweet wheat, light banana cereal, cloves. Balanced but too light for a wheat brew. The palate is medium-light with a creamy mouthfeel. Refreshing light tangyness. There are lots better brews to be had in this style... :( MattShizzle (385), Bernville, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 26, 2005 Quite a good hefeweizen. Cloudy golden color, a bit tart. Definitely taste esthers. OldGrowth (1407), North Carolina, USA Oct 2, 2005 Bottle, from Julio’s. Best by 12/26/05. Good nose, citrusy. Label describes it best. Clove, banana, vanilla. Hazy orangy gold color, small head that faded quickly. Tart, sweet flavors. Like aromas with a little soap, little metal. Thin body, lite creamy mouthfeel, dry finish. Good easy to drink beer. Hefe’s aren’t a catagory I’m in to so I guess take my rate for what it’s worth. delmecum (87), Western Illinois, Illinois, USA Aug 29, 2005 Fast disappearing head. L.A. smoggy with a light butterscotch color. Strong aroma but couldn’t put a scent to it. Very tart grapefruit taste....not for me. Very pungent acidic flavoring. barleyPops (1079), Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA Aug 6, 2005 12 oz. bottle. a cloudy hazy pale yellow in color with a quick fading head. wheat aroma and the flavor is of tart lemons that make you pucker a bit on the first sip. a decent thirst quencher, but a little too tart for my taste. AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Jul 20, 2005 Cloudy amber yellow hue with a 1 finger head. Tart citrusy wheat malt smell. Smooth mouthfeel and light/medium bodied. Tatse is tart, citrusy with fresh cooked grains. Very crisp and clean finish.
I enjoyed this beer and would buy it again. Pailhead (2572), Allen Park, Michigan, USA Jul 14, 2005 Bottle: Aroma of banana, vanilla, and clove. Pours a hazy orangish-yellow with an insignificant white head. Strong banana and vanilla presence. Lightly sour citrus hides in the background along with some yeastiness. Clove comes thru in the finish along with a little more citrus presence. Clove and banana into the aftertaste. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA Jul 10, 2005 12oz bottle pours pale cloudy golden with a short white head. Aroma of sharp citrus. Lemon and grapefruit also a touch of yeast fill the air above the glass a touch of clove also comes out. Flavor is of bannana light clove, a touch of lemon, some yeast. Slightly sour on the finish. On the palate this is quite light and airy decently carbonated to make it feel pretty good in the mouth on a hot summer day. Refreshing and pretty true to the style. Not bad..
