Bottle. Really nice beer for the style. Very Cloudy, light amber color, fragarent with Bananas and Lemons. Nice tart taste with a hint of pepper., not too much carbonation and thirst quenching.

500ml bottle. i tried this beer a couple of years ago. it was ok. so i tried it again with a fresh attitude. same, it’s ok. i’ve realized that i really don’t care for the banana molding hay after tastes of European Hefes. it just reminds me of of cleaning cow shit out of a barn in Oregon. it’s not bad, but it’s not that good either.

Hazy yellow color topped with a thick off white head. Fruity, banana, vanilla flavor with a touch of spice in there. Mouthfeel is kind of thin though. Pretty much what I had expected. Light bodied and refreshing.

This is definitely now one of my favourite hefe-weizens. It is hazy light amber with a very big off-white head that slowly shrinks. The aroma is at first grain and herbal hops rather more like a German pilsner-which is good to me-but thenthe classic German hefeweizen qualities take over, with banana, bubblegum, marshmallow, wheat, yet always with a grainy-hoppy, alcoholic lager quality mixed in, as well as an odd musty quality which slightly detracts. In taste, it is great, with lots of fruit, some bubblegum, good sweet-bitter presence and balance, a long, slightly alcoholic grain-banana finish. It’s not to soft, a complaint I ote have with wheat beers of various types. In the end, this is a great hefeweizen for me, combining the typical Geramn qualities for the style but more muted than usual with a non-wheat beer quality.

Tap @Faegans, Hazy, murky yellow. Big banana and bubblegum aroma. Medium body, and banana taste. Nice wheat aftertaste. Solid!

Wow, what a beer. Cloudy in appearance and a light fluffy head to boot! I was not a fan of the wheat ale until I tried this. Very very flavorful with hints of citrus and banana. It is refreshing enough to swig after mowing the lawn, and refined enough to intrigue the in-laws over slides of their trip to the Rockies. Must try!

Cloudy golden yellow colour with a thin white head. Lots of chunky sediment. Sweet fruity aroma. Overall flavours quite sweet, malty and banana. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Quite nice. 500ml bottle.

Cloudy yellow/gold with fluffy white head. Medium carbonation and body. Wheat malts with banana aroma and flavours. Maybe a wee bit of cloves. Sweet finish.
