A very cloudy dark amber body with a large ogg white head. The aroma has some bananas and mangos. There is also some strong clove. The taste has some bananas and strong clove. There was also some nice floral quality, like roses. A very well done hefe that I enjoyed more than most I have had in the style.

pours dark orangish color with fast disappearing head. very tart, sharp, spicy flavor. quite refreshing. nice clean finish. cool swing top bottle...

A fluffy head quickly disapated. The color is a dirty unapealing brown. The aroma is made up of a simple banana, slight spice and yeast. The flavor is the same with a quick vanilla caramel note held by a frothy fullness. It finishes with a orange zest and champagne like dryness that makes it very refreshing. There is no aftertaste to speak of. I like it.

500ml from Binny-apostrophe-s in Orland Park, IL: This poured a cloudy light amber body with a tall foamy head and much lace. It had an aroma of fresh bananas, orange zest, and bubblegum. A touch of caramel and light clove spicing are added to the flavor. Refreshing brew.

Poured from a 500ml swing-top bottle (bottled March ’08) and served in a weizen glass. This hefe poured a dark, muddy amber with a thick head of creamy tan foam. Not quite dunkleweizen dark, but much darker than your average hefeweizen. The head lasted throughout the glass, leaving behind a fair amount of lacing. The aroma consisted of ripened bananas, light toffee, nuts, and a touch of spicy yeast. The flavor included wheat bread, light banana, a hint of caramel, and some faint clove. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and creamy, smooth. Moderate carbonation. A really inviting aroma led to a flavor profile that was just a bit dull. Not bad.
