Upgraded score accordingly. old rate: Dark tan colour and cloudy. Big banana with light spice and autolyzed yeast. Sweet and soft with an appley, clovey character. Underpinning of sweet malt and a hint of wheaty tartness. The finish is a bit cloying. I respect where they’re going here but I don’t know that I like it. theisti (1674), Leawood, Kansas, USA

This was enjoyed on the patio on a nice summer afternoon with people watching a plenty (Rock Fest was that day - I’m glad I don’t have daughters. Seriously). Pour is cloudy cheddar cheese [tm] orange with a bunch of floaties and a pretty white head. Aroma of banana, wheat and bubble gum. Had a pretty generic "Hefe" nose. Taste reveals some citrus tartness, then the banana, wheat and bubble gum. Some spice and clove also is evident. Palate is medium, though still crisp and refreshing. This was a nice warm day patio beer.m kflorence (93), San Diego, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 28, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a nice cloudy orange color with particulates. Smells of citrus, wheat, yeast and candy. Flavor is tart and sweet, heavily dominated by an orange citrus flavor but also packing some wheat and spice in there. Finishes dry, tart and slightly bitter. Not my favorite hefe but it’s decent. IrishBoy (2712), Bakersfield, California, USA
