10th rating. I had this one while spending the night in Fargo. Had a nice 7 sample tasting of Granite City brews. This was a nice hefe. Very little bannana, and some clove. Quite nice actually.

Cloudy straw color with a white thin bubbled head. Mild banana and cloves in the aroma. Some wheat and malt also detected. Fairly light, but slightly sticky. Banana and a touch of tropical fruit also found in the flavors. Bits of cloves in the finish. Passable.

I hate this place, but when one came to town, I had to try all the beers. They’re all average to bad.

It’s okay. Slight citrus and yeast. Like most granite city, there’s just nothing to it. I’ll say again, it’s okay.

draft at Fort Wayne brewpub - Pours hazy yellow with a one finger white head. It has a light citrus accented yeast aroma. The flavor is sweet and a little fruity. It’s light bodied and goes down very easiliy. This one is alright for a summer quaff. Like the other GC beers I’ve had, there’s just nothing remarkable about it.

Draft at Toledo brewpub. Poured a hazy orange color with a moderate fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate spicy citrus & banana aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Refreshing drinkable brew.

Off the tap. Very cloudy with a white head. Aroma and flavor were nearly absent. What was there was of wheat, oranges, banana, and hops. The flavor was mostly carbonated water with a hint of orange or lemon. The alcohol content was reportedly 5% but I doubt it was more than 3.5%. Generally, this is a dud of a Hefeweizen.
