Cloudy gold with a short head and streaks of lace. Wheat and malt begin this brew, joined late in the palate by light bittering, only to have a revisit by the malt at the end. Not a lot going on, but a comfortable brew to drink.

On draft. Cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma of fruity wheat, bread, hef yeast and light lemon. Flavor is malty wheat and dough with light bitterness and a zesty yeast profile. Medium to light body with a crisp finish. Really nice hef, crisp and refreshing.

It poured a slightly cloudy yellow color with a small white head. The aroma was yeasty and fruity, with lemon citrus and banana. The taste was white bread, yeast, lemon citrus and maybe just a little spice. Palate was smooth, a very good beer.

Draft sample at brewpub. Poured cloudy yellow color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate banana, clove and lemon citrus aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium spice sweet flavor with a solid sweet wheat finish of moderate duration. Good refreshing brew that exceeded my expectations.

Growler from drabulous in the growler swap, drank on Derby day outside grilling. This 64 ounce growler was awesome, poured a cloudy light yellow color, aromas of light banana, clove, some lemon, light herbal hops as well. Flavor is light banana and clove, not too much spiciness. Real great beer that I wish I had more of, this is perfect for the Summer time.

Aroma of banana, gum, clove and some light herbal hops. Appearance is cloudy light gold with white head. Flavor matches the nose. Palate is very bubbly and soft. Very good Hefe.
