Rich brown pour with a huge head. Good lacing on the glass. Small amounts of spice in the aroma. Flavor was well developed with hardly any after taste. Spice in the flavor. Texture was nice, nothing too abrasive. A great anytime beer. Very drinkable.

Typical blonde weissbier. Banana dominates the nose. Good malt flavor. A touch of hops in the background. I have a hard time distinguishing this from many of the other true weissbiers.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a white medium sized head. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is more bready than typical of the style. However, th flavor is more what you would expect. Clove and banana flavors are easily found but are somewhat muted. Tartness, fruitiness, and bitterness came late. This was a nice hefe and I love that style. However, in my opinion it was not exceptional and the high rating by others is a surprise.

Was probably a good hefe but I have no taste for them. Had nice floral/wheat notes.

Thick creamy head invites the drinker, but the color is slightly unappealing. Smells like a good wheat beer. Taste is calm and mellow with a light fruity flavor.

Draught pint at Red Bones 5/29/06. Pours a thick hazy yellow color with a bif foamy white head. Nose is coriander, pepper, banana. Palate is nice and thick with a creamy texture. Flavor is dominated by bananas but a nice vanilla pudding note, some light spicy coriander and pepper is also noted.
