Commercial Description:
Unfiltered and cloudy, this beer is lemon yellow in color. Modeled after the refreshing wheat beers of Bavaria, banana and clove flavors imparted by the special yeast characterize this unique brew. Just right for a hot summer day, beer and nature find harmonic bliss.

Very nice. I expected a little more body and a bit more character from the yeast - but very enjoyable overall.

Poured a hazy gold color with a small white head that quickly diminished. Aroma of banana, clove, bubblegum, and wheat. Tart citrus taste, balanced by some spicy clove and wheat as well. Light carbonation.

On tap at brewpub. Yellow in color, cloudy. Not much carbonation. No head retention. Banana and clove flavor, citrusy. Refreshing. Light.

Hazy, golden-yellow body with a big, slow-fading, snowy white head. Blend of spicy yeast and light hop characters in the nose, with slightly plastic phenols, subdued esters and mild nutty wheat in the background. Esters emerge in the flavor with banana and bubble gum notes and notable sweetness. Comes across as a little more malty rather than wheaty, relative to some hefeweizens. A solid wheat beer.

Golden color with an average size head. Aroma is sweet with banana, wheat, orange. Flavor is sweet with wheat, banana, orange, and sugars. Drifts into Belgian Territory - Nice Hefe.

Pours cloudy gold with 1-finger off-white head. Aroma of spice, yeasty hop, some banana. Medium palate with flavors of citrus, yeasty malt, banana, and some clovey phenols. Fairly complex.

Golden color with small white head. This was your basic Hefe. Light everything. Banana, clove, and wheat. Seemed too clear to be a Hefe.
