Bottle. Medium sized white fizzy head with good retention, cloudy straw body, and a ring of lacing. The aroma is sweet, clove, banana, spicy, citrus hops. The flavor is sweet, clove, spicy, banana, mango, citrus hops, and mildly bitter. The mouthfeel is tingly and this is a medium bodied beer. Overall, a very balanced aroma/flavor, worthy of a try, and a beer I would drink again. More please!

Dec 31, 2009 750ml bottle - pours a dark yellow/hazy orange with a huge creamy white head that lingers - good display of lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, apricot, peach, banana, wheat, and spice. Taste was yeasty, banana, and a mix of the other fruits previously listed - also quite wheaty. Full bodied with moderate carbonation. Nice mixture of a lot of things going on - solid weizen.

Dec 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy, orange color with a extremely large, dense, frothy white head. The lacing is exceptionally strong as well. Aromas of citrus, hay, banana, and floral. Palate is lively to start with an oily texture, then quickly turns into a soft, clean finish. Taste is bananas, citrus hops, and melon toward the end. A fantastic beer that I will be sure to enjoy again in the future!

Dec 27, 2009 Now THIS is a Hefeweizen!!! I have always thought that Hef’s were too flat and bland, and that the wheat flavor needed some major hops and it would create a unique combination of flavors that could make a great beer. I had given up on the style until I found this oasis in the desert. Brooklyn and Schneider have done an amazing collaboration here. Dry hopping a wheat beer? Come on! This beer also looks amazing in the glass... a turbid orange, it looks very rich and inviting. Has a very full body and a very fruity sweet flavor balanced with nice dry finishing hops. I love this beer.

Dec 21, 2009 On tap at the Rake, May 2009. Does pretty much what it says on the tin – a hopped up wheat beer. I also detected some volatile gluey notes in the aroma and some rather odd smoky notes. But it was certainly an interesting, and unusual, take on a wheat beer. For which it gains credit from me.

Dec 7, 2009 Updated: Dec 10, 2009750 ML Bottle in USA. Huge spicy hoppy nose. Pours cloudy orange with a thick white head. Good citrus flavors, wheaty, and good German weizen yeast qualities, but there’s a big hoppy presence which I feel is out of place, spicy and citrusy. Very good.
