hopdog (5527), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 6, 2005 Bottle opened with a loud Psst sound. Poured a light and cloudy yellow color with a huge, huge white head. Aromas of lemons, yeast, light cloves and light bananas. Tastes of bananas, lemons, wheat, yeast, and light spices. Nice body and not as over carbonated as the opening and huge head would have lead me to expect. Pailhead (2572), Allen Park, Michigan, USA Oct 4, 2005 Bottle: Aroma is very lemony with banana, clove, and light grassy hops. Pours a cloudy orangish-yellow with a decent white head that lasts a minute or so. Light banana up front with light citrus in the background. Finishes spicey with light grassy hops and moderate acidity. Fizzy mouthfeel. drfabulous (1212), Columbia, Missouri, USA Sep 27, 2005 Not a bad Hefeweizen. Light. Banana. Suddenly, our local grocery started stocking up on Victory. This, like Hop Devil, marks the rise of another quality regional brewer that deserves the emerging popularity - along with Bells, Founders, and Dogfish Head. UNCCTF (464), Kannapolis, North Carolina, USA Sep 24, 2005 On tap at the Flying Saucer in Charlotte. Cloudy yellow appearance with an extreme lemon aroma. Flavor was very citrusy with that wheat beer aftertaste and a little bit of carbonation. A good weissbier. weeare138 (933), Collegeville, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 19, 2005 Appears a hazy light gold with a 1 finger white head that fades into a mild white collar. Spotty lacing.
Smell is of wheat, banana, citrus, and spice.
Taste is of the above mentioned aromas with a sestiness and a slight yeasty breadiness.
Mouthfeel...fills the mouth and pops with carbonation and sweet and sour notes with yeasty breadiness. clifford0163 (93), Maryland, USA Sep 18, 2005 this is a nice beer for the summer has a little spice and nice fruit flavors not bad matta (1137), Tampa, Florida, USA Sep 15, 2005 Thanks to some great trader for sending me this beer…. I apologize for forgetting who… It’s just too may trades done in one month! Well, I guess there is never too much of good beer…
Pours a cloudy blond body with a thick white head. The aroma hints of clove, ripened banana and a buttery and lightly citric doughy yeast. Some hints of biscuit, and lemon peel in the finish… Nice drinkable summer beer! radiomgb (1921), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Sep 13, 2005 Bottle. Pale golden in colour, cloudy, small dissipating white head, no lace. Strong aroma of lemons and yeast, some cloves and some bananas. The flavour was lightly spiced, some pepper, lemons and yeast. Creamy mouthfeel, light body, high carbonation. Finish lingers, some spice, sharp. No bad but just a bit light for my tastes.
