Bottle. A reasonably standard looking hefeweizen, murky orange with a tight white head and good lacing . It has a sweet aroma with obvious alcohol, some banana, yeast and cereal in the background. Softly flavoured, quite sweet with lots of banana, a touch of spice and maybe even some pear drop/acetone character. I am not a fan of German wheat beers but I find this quite drinkable, even though there is nothing particularly novel about it.

Sep 26, 2008 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.

Sep 25, 2008 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.

Sep 24, 2008 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.

Sep 23, 2008 Beautiful hazy amber color with a modest head. Aroma is faint banana bread with hints of wheat.
Flavor is pretty spot on to nose. Agreed that it falls a little short in the flavor dept. mouth feel could be thicker.
