| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden brown amber with a thin white head. Caramel, candied bananas, bread. Thin and a bit empty. Cardboard, dry yeast. Overall just very lacking. puzzl (2621), New York, New York, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 19, 2009 Bottled. Very cloudy yellow-brown pour. A little bit of head. Bubblegum and banana notes are pretty much all that are going on, very sweet, dull, and one-dimensional. The body falls flat, completely lifeless, with the same junky sweetness. Not a good hefe at all. tmoreau (579), Lombard, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 2, 2009 Sampled at A Mead, Cider, & Beer Tasting at Binny’s Beverage Depot, Glen Ellyn, Il. Poured to a wine glass/sampler a hazy, orangy gold with a modest white foamy head that reduced to film and a small ring. The aroma was soft grain, light fruit, banana, and a touch of citrusy tartness. The flavor followed these with light malt and spice as cinnamon. Good carbonation, bright and refreshing 17thfloor (1484), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 23, 2009 500ml bottle. Pours a cloudy glowing but duller orange tea color with a medium tall very dense white foam 3.5. Aroma is quite fragrant, full ripe bananas and fall gourds, nostril coating, wonderfully spiced, creamy with a nice edge 7.5. First taste is very sweet ripe metallic banana, followed by rich caramel before settling with softer doughy green banana and clove 7.5. Long yeasty aftertaste. A bit citric. Medium bodied with ubiquitous tightly packed very fine fizzy carbonation, a tingly fluffy sandpaper sensation, dry feeling mouthful. A nice change for fall. redlight (1475), Winter Park, Florida, USA
