jcwattsrugger (3807), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Oct 22, 2006 on tap-pours a white head with yellow color. Aroma is grain. Taste is grain, some hops. Tasted like a standard lager/ale. OK carbonation. beastiefan2k (1085), Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA Sep 21, 2006 Plastic sample cup at the brewery. Dark yellow to light orange color. Can see through the beer and vsisible carbonation. Nothing too discernable in the aroma. Present though, a humble earthy hefe. Taste I get banana but in a different manner than usual. I get a sweet aspect of banana only. A pretty full bodied hefe. But again not much too discernable in the taste either. Finishes with just a hint of bitterness. Average mouthfeel. seeknay36 (109), Port Jefferson Station, New York, USA Aug 24, 2006 Tap at the brewery. Not many bad things to say about the beer, although it is not your "typical" hefeweizen. There is your malt and it is sweet with the slight presence of citrus (have not tried it with the lemon wedge). No banana flavor which I love, I am so sick of the banana craze. PilsnerPeter (1379), Flushing, New York, USA Aug 19, 2006 When I was at the brewery I spoke to Alan (the head brewer). They for the first time just tried a bit of a different recipe. It’s not what I expected from a hefe-weizen. It’s somewhat earthy, doesn’t have the refreshing aspect that hefe-weizens usually do. Has a grain bread heartyness, more hoppyness than hefe-weizens usually do, somewhat almondy dryness, different, not bad. notalush (2009), Rawn-kawn-kohma, New York, USA Jul 22, 2006 Tap at the brewery - quite full-bodied for a hefe - big time wheat malt presence in this one, and some light citrus and mild sweetness - quite hoppy for the style, making it seem like a hefe/pale ale hybrid - pretty nice.
