May 7, 2008 Draft at the brewpub in Honolulu. Cloudy deep yellow in color with a nice thick white head. The aromas were of yeast, citrus and banana with a touch of 5-spice. The palate had nice concentration and depth without coming off heavy. Overall, this was a nice surprise and one that I would definitely order again.

Apr 24, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Slightly hazy golden body, white head with good lacing, banana/clove nose. Finally, a US hefe that actually tastes the way a hefe should taste. Good banana/clove/citrus balance with finishing wheatiness.

Feb 10, 2008 Nice little pub Heffe. Had it at the brewery on Kona. Went great with their fabulous pizza. Pretty typical banana flavors and hazy color. Very smooth and easy drinking. Nice beer.

Jan 31, 2008 Just had a sampler at the Kona Brewery, but enjoyed it very much. It’s your traditional German Hefeweizen with the banana taste. It’s remarkably similar to Flying Dog In Heat Wheat, and Ram/Big Horn Brewing’s Hefeweizen. You might not be blown away, but if you like a nice hef, you can’t go wrong.

Dec 4, 2007 Sampled on draft at the Kona Brewery on the Big Island. Not as impressed with this one as I was with the Pipeline Porter or even the Castaway IPA. Poured a murky yellow (almost like a Belgian Wit). Overall, this wheat was just too over the top bubble-gum and banana flavors for me- there was nothing subtle about the flavors here. Not a favorite....

Nov 10, 2007 On tap at the Kona Brew Pub on Oahu. Poured a deeper and cloudy golden yellow color with a smaller sized head. Aromas of bananas, cloves, and pepper. Tastes of the same but on the weaker and somewhat watery side. Light citrus in there as well.
