Sep 16, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear gold with a substantial white head. Cloves a hint of honey and bubblegum on the aroma. Light body active carbonation. The cloves predominate in the taste as well, with a bit of bread and banana. Crisp and spicy finish that fades into floral hops.
I didn’t initially know this was a German Hefeweizen, so I tried a second pour after having roused the yeast. Cloudy gold, softer flavor a bit more banana, some apple, yeast and really, a pretty damn good Hefeweizen. I’m jacking my score up.
For anyone who wants a well rounded clove-dominated Hefe, this is your beer!

Sep 3, 2009 Cloudy dark gold, decent white head. Nice aroma of citrus and, uh, more citrus. Flavor is lemony at first, then a nice note of banana and bubblegum. Not particularly complicated, but tasty and refreshing.

Sep 2, 2009 Orange, banana, apple and clove in the nose. The oranges really pop out of this one. A slightly cloudy light yellow. Banana, yeast, grain and a bit of alcohol in the flavour. Tangy all around. This one is nummy.

Aug 26, 2009 Pours really light. A pale, faded honey color, with a very small head. Wheat, other grains (cereal), a slight honey sweetness and a bit of citrus in the aroma. The flavor is more floral, or herbal - and weaker. Not very good. I suppose this would be good on a hot day, but what wouldn’t? Very, very "meh."

Aug 24, 2009 12oz bottle. Ranked 1st out of 4 in my blind Hefe tasting [4th Arbor Bavarian Bliss, 3rd Sam Adams, 2nd Stoudts Heifer-in-Wheat]
Pours a cloudy straw/bright gold with a medium thicker white fine froth. Aroma is really nice, quite yeasty, juicy apples, spicy banana, clove, vanilla, full, softly rich, very fragrant, decadent 8.5. Flavor is delicate and dry, soft green banana, white pepper, fried dough, super yeasty, juicy sweetness. Med/light bodied with a smooth mouthful, sharper but smooth sizzling carbonation.

Aug 21, 2009 draft at coles- enjoyed this quite a bit- a real quencher- very similiar to sn keller, but a bit less body- banana and clove dominate, with a nice wheat bite. very good.

Aug 9, 2009 Hazy yellow pour with a pale orange tinge. Lots of bubbles and carbonation. Very thick white head on top. Sweet malt aroma with hints of honey and spice. Bitter yeast flavor with a touch of banana. Way over carbonated, but refreshing and light.
