Lively carbonation in the mouth, matching well to the soft, bready core; medium mouthfeel; good levels of bananas and soft cloves / spice; very drinkable and tasty overall; nothing too sweet or sticky. Medium finish: toasty grains, bread, and bananas; ends dry with a touch of spice. unclemattie (2401), Georgia, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 5, 2008 12oz. bottle. Pours a very light and soft yellow/gold that is mostly clear until you swirl in (or pour in from the bottom of the bottle) some of the yeast sediment. The head pours up immense and white and lasts impressively. The aroma is a wonderful breadiness - sweet and wheaty with delectable notes of malt sweetness and faint touch of fruit (banana). The flavor starts sweet and malty and wheaty - delicious. Some spice and fruit (clove phenols, banana esters) come in faintly at mid-palate - but not overwhelming. They are a wonderful complement to the wheaty and malty character of the beer. The finish is crisp and incredibly refreshing with a touch of noble hop bitterness and a slight tang from the blend of hops, phenols, and sweet malts. The mouthfeel is medium-full in body and invigoratingly carbonated. Overall, this is one of the best Bavarian Weissbiers I’ve ever tasted - hands down.
