According to the Capital website, this is a retired beer. I am bummed. this is one of the few American-made Hefeweizen that taste like the German equivilent. This beer has a very smooth flavor with banana, clove, and a special guest peach flavors. I wish I could get more of this.

In bottle during the morning of Dark Lord Day ’07. A well done hefe, but nothing outstanding. I guess I just compare everything to Schneider, and none are quite that smooth and flavorful. But a well done beer by our friends up north.

Bottle from trade with shigadeyo. Pours a hazy amber hue with an large frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Good wheat and banana aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium well balanced spicy flavor with a good sweet finish of moderate duration. Good soft drinkable beer.

Brought back a bottle from Madison visit. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small near white head. Aroma a bit sour wheat malt. Taste of wheat malt, bananas, and citrus. Dry spicy aftertaste. A more lively wheat beer.

Date: 3/31/2007
Serving: 12 oz bottles brought by Jason. Glad you could visit, my friend!
Event: Rye Pale Ale (10 gallons) brew out.
Location: shigadeyo’s house.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: Mostly wheat with a little bit of sweet wheat malt.
Appearance: Hazy gold pour with a medium-sized head that is foamy white to off-white in color.
Flavor: Caramel malts, banana, and smoke. Reminds me quite a bit of the New Glarus Copper Kettle Weiss, but not quite as complex and rich.
Palate: Medium body (a bit more thin than the New Glarus Copper Kettle Weiss.
Overall: Another great wheat beer from another great Wisconsin brewery!

Deep golden with a decent size white head. Aroma of banana, clove and citrus. Wheat flavor quickly followed by a spicey finish. Refreshing.

Cloudy appearance with strong lemon aroma and flavor. This was one of my first hefeweizens and I really liked it.
