emacgee (1132), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Jun 30, 2008 Shared by Durhambeer. Pours a still pale cloudy yellow. Not as hazy as I would have liked. No head. The nose is very strong banana, very wheaty and yeasty. Not really any spicy clove, just banana. The flavor is similar, banana, wheaty, yeasty. The mouthfeel is disconcerting because it lacks the carbonation and full body I would expect from a wheat.
Drnk_McDermott (1564), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA Sep 28, 2008 Updated: Sep 29, 200812 oz. bottle. Nice opening smell, though a little high on orange juice, with followup notes of coriander. Much more than you’d find in a non-Weizen wheat. Brownish orange color with a head that simply fizzes away. Previous rater pegged melon, and I agree, under citrus, apple juice and warm ferment spiciness. Banana esters start to show up halfway down the glass, along with a tang of dead yeast. It’s okay, just kind of on the level of a decent homebrew. They just might get better. LilBeerDoctor (635), East Setauket, New York, USA Aug 24, 2008 Bottle courtesy of pepsican. Pours a cloudy dull orange with no head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, and clove. Flavor predominantly wheat/bread and citrus, also some melon and other light fruity notes, bubblegum. Some metallic notes. Lively carbonation, very spritzy mouthfeel. Palate is a bit watery. Not bad, probably my #3 of the Hub Citys so far. fredandboboflo (627), East Setauket, New York, USA Aug 24, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of mustard seed, citrus, must. Flavor odd with some citrus and plastic. Watery palate. Kind of a mess, but fortunately not too offensive. pineypower (892), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA Aug 24, 2008 Thanks to Pepsican. Pour out a light amber with a small white head. Aroma is of some wheat, and citrus. Taste is a bit watery, some citrus, some hoppiness and slight fruit going on in there also. Interesting wheat and rather drinkable. daknole (852), Plantation, Florida, USA Aug 16, 2008 bottle from pepsican, thanks man. Pours an apple juice color with a few sudsy bubbles showing around the edges of my glass. Aroma is light and sweet...some apple, yeast and wheat. Flavor is sweeter than i would have expected with some hints of spices and herbal tea. I do get some banana as well. Kinda watery, but would be good on a real hot day after mowing the lawn.
