Jun 13, 2008 On tap @ Galaxy Global Eatery in NYC. Cloudy orangey yellow color with a fluffy white head. Complex aroma of yeast, wheat and lemon. Each sip had a different flavor: wheat, banana, lemon, etc etc. Really great beer.

Jun 13, 2008 Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Sunny, hazed bright yellow appearance. Grayish. Pear, apricot and pine hoppy aroma. Pungent garlic sweetness. Clove, vanilla, and banana wheat characters. Fresh and prickly bitterness with no weight of alcohol. Flavor is similarly hoppy, bright and fruity, smoothened by a pleasant creamy sweetness of banana and distant soy milk; pine-like bitterness is punchy but alternately very soft and kind. Some alcohol touch with vanilla traces sweetening. Medium body is smooth, silky, and bittersweet with light effervescence; finishes with some hoppy length and a papery dryness. Fresh and calming.

Jun 12, 2008 Bottle, compared at the same time as the schneider version. Pours a hazy medium-dark-straw color with huge white head that lasts longer than the german version. Great lacing. Amazing nose of lemon and wheat, without other distracting aromas. Clove, banana, lemon notes in flavor. Cloying semi-bitter finish, but nicer than the german version. Final verdict, Brooklyn brewed the better version.

Jun 12, 2008 Thanks to Stine for sharing. Bottle, pours a pale, cloudy yellow body with yellowish white head. Spicy aroma of grassy hops with a hint of citrus. Mostly wheat flavor with lemon, grass, and yeast tones. Clean finish.

Jun 12, 2008 Thanks to Stine for sharing. Hazy yellow color with a large head. Strong aroma of Noble hops, grass and a little orange. Tons of citrus hops. A lot of wheat flavors and dry grass. The hops seem to be covering up the banana and clove flavors from the yeast. Good, but I think I like the Schneider version better.

Jun 12, 2008 Sampled from 750 ml bottle supplied by Stine. Pours a hazy dark straw brew with a thick white head that slowly dissipates to a creamy head with some good lacing. Aroma of fruity and citrus hops, some vanilla, banana and a touch of cloves. Taste is smooth, creamy with a hoppy white bread with wheat malt flavor. Finish has a mild bitterness with a light citrus zest and hop aftertaste. A little hoppy for a Weisen bock but very enjoyable.

Jun 10, 2008 750 ml bottle/ Poured a dark cloudy amber. Aroma was very hoppy, almost like an ipa. Mouthful was very smooth, and nicely carbonated. I found this beer to a nice depth to it as it has different levels of flavor. Going down I sense some sweetness, and then the finish has some nice bitterness to it. Very enjoyable, and very nice beer.

Jun 10, 2008 Orange-gold. Gigantic head. Smells exactly as I expected, which is awesome. Lots of American hops which work very well with the soft banana and sharp clove. The flavor starts off dominated by hefeweizen--big, rich hefeweizen with spices, fruit, and citrus. Then come the citrus-thick American hops, first blending almost perfectly then taking over completely. A touch of wheat comes back after the swallow. Very impressive beer.
