Draft at Water Street. Pours a darker caramel colored, hazy with a sticky white head. Nose is nice. Banana and clove balance is good, light citrus notes, crisp and clean. Wheat noted. On tasting, really solid hefeweizen. The wheat offers a tang and sweetness, drying finish is there as well. Good ester/phenol balance. Damn nice hefe!

Dark cloudy yellow. Wheat, banana in aroma and flavor. Not much complexity. One of the better water street brewery offerings.

JMerritt (1676) - Macomb, Illinois, USA - OCT 8, 2012
On tap at Water Street Milwaukee. Hazy gold with a very small off-white head that is totally diminishing. Banana and clove aroma is weighted a bit towards the spice. Musty flavor, banana is heavy yet punctuated by bright carbonation. Wheat tanginess in the finish. Overall, not a bad hefe, though I think it could be a little less dry.

deyholla (4787) - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA - JUN 6, 2012
On tap at the Delafield location. Pours a hazy yellowish gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of wheat (slightly earthy) up front with backing banana and clove. Flavor has a strong clove note up front with more banana in the finish all backed by a wheat note.

A very very average wheat beer. Decent flavor and aroma, but not much of it.

crossovert (4565) - Wisconsin, USA - AUG 28, 2011
It is pretty crapy for a bavarian hefeweizen. Watery and they have enough dumbassery to include a lemon.

Tmoney99 (8787) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - AUG 22, 2011
Tap sample. Pours a hazy yellow hue with an average fizzy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Good wheat and banana aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Average balanced spice flavor with a soft sweet finish of moderate duration. Soft drinkable beer.

tkrjukoff (3362) - SWEDEN - MAY 4, 2011
Apr 21, tap@Water Street, Milwauke. Pours hazy amber orange with a small off white head. Good carbonation. Aroma is bananas, citrus and cereal. Flavor much like aroma. Finishes short fruity and a bit bitter. Decent nice weizen.

Hazy gold. Light esters. Sweet wheat and mild citrus with very little else to back it up. Decent.
