hellbilly (909), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Jul 13, 2008 poured from the bomber a hazy brown shade of yellow with a soft white head. big time aroma of ripe bananas followed by spiciness, grain, earth and a touch of lemon. lots of banana in the flavor as well... this time it combines with vanilla, light yeast, wheat, spiciness and a tart lemon-like finish. as it warms it starts to get a bit harsh and woodsy. so, drink it fast! medium body gets quite soft and creamy as it works to the back of my tongue. as others have said it is a bit of a one trick pony but still quite refreshing.
Bockyhorsey (2033), Mesa, Arizona, USA Sep 28, 2008 Bomber courtesy of hellbilly. Banana and clove stand out for aroma along with some spice notes. Hazy gold body with white head. Flavor is good dose of banana and chewy. Spice and tart on the finish leaving fruit aftertaste. Filling brew, thanks Joshua. thornecb (1141), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Sep 21, 2008 Pours clear gold into a Weizen. Bright white head recedes to skim surface. Bubblegum and banana aromas. Orange citrus upfront with lasting banana wheat finish. Boutip (1815), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Sep 4, 2008 Bottle: Poured a clear golden color weizen with a medium foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of some light banana ester with a huge amount of DMS (overcooked vegetables). Taste is also dominated by some weird overcooked vegetables notes with some light notes of banana. Extremely bad and way off style for me to enjoy. I rarely drain pour beers but this is one that I could not drink the whole bottle. RCL (1075), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA Jul 8, 2008 Super duper banana-y aroma. Sweetish banana flavor. A bit one dimensional, but pleasant drinking.
-Hold On-
After swirling the bottle vigorously to pull up more yeast the beer takes on a nice bready, brioche like character with light baking spices.
