A drinkable wheat beer, but not much of a hefeweizen. The body is a cloudy yellow and it’s got a slender fizzy head that vanishes almost immediately. There’s a faint banana scent to the aroma, very faint, but mostly it’s wheat with a lemon twist. It tastes lemony and the banana does have a greater presence, but again it’s mainly lemon and wheat. Crisp tart finish. A passable lawnmower beer.

Bottle and served in Ayinger glass: Pours a nice cloudy golden hue with a fading fizzy head and spotty lace. The aroma has esters of banana, clove, pepper, herbs and grass, wheat, pale malts, and some butterscotch. The taste starts with a fruity note and some light grassy bitterness. Wheaty and biscuity with a hint of yeast as well. The finish displays a note of spice and just a dash of bright acidity. The mouth feel is lively and crisp, refreshing and enjoyable, dry finish. I pretty solid example of the genre.

Draft sample at IBGF 06. Hazy white color with a large creamy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Sweet wheat aroma. Light to medium body. Sweet wheat flavor with a sweet finish of moderate duration. Refreshing soft brew.

This draft brew from the Flat Top Grill in Fort Wayne, IN was served with a large sized head of foamy long lasting bubbles that left behind a hazy yellow orange colored uncarbonated body and a good thick foamy lacing. The aroma contained banana wheat malt and spicy notes. The mouth feel was tingly from start to finish with a lingering wheat aftertaste. The flavor contained hoppy wheat malt and mild clove notes.

Draft at Flat Top Grill in Ft. Wayne, IN. Small white fizzy head that mostly diminished with sparse lacing, no visible carbonation, and a yellow hue. Aroma was malty, wheat, banana, clove, spice, sweet typical of this style. Flavor was sweet, banana, malty, spicy, clove. Right on cue again for this style. Tingly, banana mouthfeel. Medium body. Nice job done by the Warbird staff!!
