| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 23, 2009 16.9 ounce bottle - $3.29 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a dark, straw-colored body with a medium-sized, fluffy, white head.
Smell: Fragrant aroma smelling sweetly of banana juice, malted wheat, clove, vanilla, and a tiny bit of lemon pith.
Taste: Lightly tangy malted with a touch of honeyed sweetness. Spicy clove and nutmeg hits next, with tastes of banana, vanilla, and faintly tart citrus following in tow. Even a splash of pineapple and floral hints midway. Mild hops and accompanying bitterness. Slight touch of acidity. Finishes semi-dry and quite crisp with a lingering taste of grainy wheat bread.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Overall spritzy mouthfeel.
Drinkability: An altogether classic German hefeweizen which would probably be even better out in the hot summer sun.
