Jun 23, 2009 Pours a super turbid neon yellow with a quickly dissipating white head. Complex aroma of banana and cloves that is rarely matched in any Hefe outside of Germany (this is somewhat masked by an issue detailed below). Taste is restrained banana/fruity character with spicy clove. The major problem I have always had with this beer is that it is way over carbonated. The stinging carbonation scrubs away most of the flavor. If I want to taste some of the complex tastes in there, I have to spend ten minutes forcing carbonation out of the beer by swishing it around. The high level of carbonation also makes it really difficult to get a good whiff of the aroma because the nucleating bubbles carry away all of the smells. So, it is not until you work out the carbonation that you can truly partake. Other than that, it is one of the poster children of the style and deserves a chance from anyone looking for a good Hefe.

Jun 22, 2009 Not sure about the people saying that there isn’t much for flavor. I got a strong and sweet wheaty flavor with hints of citrus and bubblegum. The appearance was cloudy and thick, with a creamy head. One of the better German macros that I’ve had.

Jun 21, 2009 Comes out of the tap a hazy honey-yellow with a decent white head. Rich aroma is wheaty and yeasty with a strong citrus overtone, mainly orange. Refreshing flavor is perfect after being out in hot weather - wheaty and yeasty with a firm orange tone. Texture is fizzy and smooth. This pleasing beer leaves a nice wheaty and fruity finish.

Jun 7, 2009 Pours a cloudy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma of banana, bubblegum and spice with flavor the same and a hint of black pepper spice. A little too much carbonation and the body seems a little thin. This is a good representation of the style, but I have had better.

Jun 6, 2009 Aroma of banana and spice. It also has kind of a sour banana flavor. It’s not a bad beer, though I like their dunkel better.
