Aug 9, 2009 I thought this was absolutely one of the more fantastic example of the style that I have tried in years. The nose is strongly reminiscent of the same yeasty qualities that you get from a traditional hefeweizen, lots of cloves and banana, but than you get a second aroma of sweet candy sugars and caramel maltiness. Very warming on the palate with lots of sweet candied fruits and bubblegum, very full and filling, not a single tastebuds goes unoccupied with pleasure while drinking this one. In a blind testing one would never be able to tell this was an American Beer. Extremely well done.

Aug 5, 2009 One liter swingtop from Monument in Concord, CA. Pours a reddish apricot with large frothy off-white head. Aromas of fruit and spice. Full bodied with frothy carbonation. Flavor is light stone fruit (lots of it), clove and spices, and yeast. It finishes more sweet than dry, but the yeast/spice is so strong it offsets the maltiness. Strange flavors toward the finish, ending in notes of banana. There’s a lot going on here. Words are inadequate. Try it.

Jul 16, 2009 1ltr swing top bottle. Pours a hazy caramel color with a big beige head that left great lacing. Nose was fairly sweet with a touch of candy sugar, toffee and light hopes on the nose. Flavor was also quite sweet with light spice and a nice toffee sweetness.
