Hazy yellow color with a small head. Very strong orange and banana aroma. The wheat dominates the taste like a wheat smoothie. Dashes of lemon and orange too, but it’s hard to get much past the wheat.

Sampled draught at the Autumn Brew Review in Minneapolis, October 7 2006. Hazy, yeasty-thick dark gold with very little in the way of retained head, just wisps....fairly dry, spicy aroma with decent soft banana presence, a bit of sour lactic quality....body is much sweeter than the nose would indicate, quite thick and juicy, lots of mashed bananas and sourdough, but too sweet and thick overall and nearly cloying....a bit underfermented I think, though the quality ingredients are there.

On Tap in a Weizen. Scent is of yeast and wheat malt. Cloudy bannana yellow in colour with a nice creamy white head with moderate lacing. Flavour is citrus, bannana, autumnal spices and wheat malt... Very interesting. Smooth character and lots of complexity... An exceptional hefe-weizen.

ABR 2006. Banana and citrus aroma. Sweet wheat flavor and substantial wheat body.. Cloudy yellow. This is simple and there is nothing fancy, so not much to say. But it is a solid hefeweizen.

Gitchee Gumee Brewfest: Solid Illuminated Yellow Coloring with Small Sandy Head. Strong Citrus and Banana Aroma with Light Spices Coming Out. Flavor Pretty Much the Same. Srong Yeast and Coriander Presence. A Bit Watery Overall with a Dry Aftertaste. Drinkable Hefe.
