Had on tap at the brewpub in June of 2006: Pours a hazy golden bronze with a well-lacing frothy white head. Aroma of sweet malted wheat, some bubble gum and banana along with authentic yeasty esters. Body starts with a nice, light sweetness, some mild citrus tartness for balance and good peppery clove flavor. Good authenticity and very drinkable.

Apr 6, 2008 I would have to say this is my favorite out of the everyday house beers, and generally what I drink when I am in town, not including the specialties and seasonals. Above average take on the style for a domestic craft offering and is reminiscent to me of Schneider. Initially clove and banana notes, and I make that comparison because I think the red wheat does a lot for this beer. Lots of cereal maltiness, with makes me say this would be a great breakfast beer.

Jun 24, 2007 A nice translucent honey-golden color with a fairly thick head. Aroma is fairly strong, malty and wheaty. Flavor is typical of a hefeweizen but stronger than most I have tried - pleasantly malty/wheaty, with fruity hints and a suggestion of spice. Finish is smooth and livey. This is a refreshing and summery beer that is very pleasant to sip and enjoy.

Jun 18, 2007 This is dedicated to KieferUGA and kleyland for their strong love and appreciation of a good hefeweizen. This had a really good aroma with lots of banana/bubblegum and spice; color was about right. Flavor was much more of the same; very drinkable and one of my favorites for the style

Mar 27, 2007 Big hefeweizen nose with banana and clove, hazy orange color, sticky head. Sweet soft wheat malt, ester, malt a-go-go. Spicy end. Big full mouth. Wow-surprisingly good hefeweizen--it’s all there.
