Commercial Description:
We leave the yeast in our authentic Bavarian-style wheat beer to give it a cloudy appearance and creamy texture. This spicy, fruity beer has hints of clove and banana and is crafted for easy drinking.

From a 12 oz bottle this poured a cloudy gold, with a very large and long lasting white head that left good lacing. Nose of citrus hops with banana. Very smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is banana and citrus, with some clove. Very refreshing and easy to drink

Bottle. Light hazy straw color. Aroma of wheat, yeast, and banana. The flavor was the same with fizzy light spice finish.

12 oz bottle. Hazy, murky yellow with a huge fluffy head. Lots of wheat aromas with some citrus refreshingness. More citrus on the flavor with just touches of spice. Not super exciting.

Murky orangish yellow, small head that doesn’t last that long, decent lacing. Aroma is yeast, banana, tart, acidic. Lighter body, strange mouthfeel that is difficult to describe. Came off as an unnatural hybrid of a German Hefe and an American Wheat. I dunno... strange example.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy pale yellow body with an average white head. Aroma of lemon zest, banana, and some bubble gum. Flavor of clove, lemon, wheat, and ripe bananas.

350 ml bottle from Bevmo. Cloudy brownish yellow with a fizzy white head. Banana bread aroma and taste, but pretty much an average beer overall.

Other than having a fantastic cloudy appearance, this beer was terrible. Way over the top wheaty for me and tons of banana. If possible, this actually tastes "cloudy". Not good.

Aroma of wheat, clove, and a little banana. Predominantly wheat though. Pours a brownish orange with a small head that went away quickly. Flavor was mostly a bland wheat accompanied by a little bit of banana and clove esters, but these were minimal. This tasted more like an American Wheat to me than a Bavarian. It was easy to drink. Oh well. It was somewhat boring really, and I was expecing more from these dudes.
