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.

Oct 7, 2009 Poured cloudy and golden with a fizzy white. The aroma was lemony fresh. Plenty of clove and spice along with it. The flavor was a refreshing blend of tart lemon and spices. Thin mouthfeel. Lots of carbonation. A pretty good summer-session type of beer.

Oct 1, 2009 Bottle. Cloudy yellow pour, nice white head. Lots of clovey lemon with a touch of fruity sweetness on the aroma. Flavor comes through with a very light banana up front, then moves into a very lemon filled spice heaven, clove all over the place. Not as thick as some German style hefe’s, but so spiced that it almost puts itself in a different category of goodness. Excellent by no means, but a damn good spiced up here we have here!!

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!
