Apr 10, 2008 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.

Apr 10, 2008 Tap @Faegans, Hazy, murky yellow. Big banana and bubblegum aroma. Medium body, and banana taste. Nice wheat aftertaste. Solid!

Apr 10, 2008 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!

Apr 8, 2008 500 ml. bottle. Huge, white head. Liquid is hazy and butter-like yellow. Yeast, bana ester and sweet wheat malts in aroma. Flavor is yeasty sour in the finish. Body is light to medium. A bit watery mouth feeling. Sparkling and quite refreshing. Not my favourite hefe-weiss, but still tasty and easy to drink.

Apr 5, 2008 Pours a bright orange yellow cloudy color with a huge amount of froathy white head. Looks absolutely delicious! Aroma is doughy banana and a tad bit of lemon - pretty typical of hefes. Flavor very crisp and refreshing but without being watery and thin. Nice banana and subtle citric taste with a bit of the doughy yeastiness. Overall, excellent hefe.
