Tap at brewpub: Somewhat metallic obscuring wheat character. A tad thin, looks nice, smells nice and estery.

Tap at the brewpub. Very cloudy ugly yellow-brown pour with a fast fading fluffy white head. Aroma is beautiful though. Loaded with fresh banana esters and a faint backdrop of clove and allspice. Nice fresh wheaty spiciness over the top as well. Full-bodied and thick with loads of light banana flavour/clove and bready wheaty character. No flaws, and the rich wheaty malt base really makes this stand out. Well-done.

On tap at Lancaster Brewing. Arrived at our table a cloudy gold with a thin white ring for a head. Lighter aroma than I would have exepcted from a hefe with some light citrus and a bit of wheat noted. Thankfully, the flavor was more definitive with a nice combination of citrus, spice and a bit of banana. An enjoyable summer brew.

Draft at LBC...pours amber-orange, not as cloudy as I would’ve expected...smell of citrus and clove, bit of ripe banana...taste much of the same with a bit of spice and the clove comes to the front but not overpowering...I would’ve liked to have tried it without the orange wedge but it was quite refreshing none-the-less...great summer season beer...good example from LBC...too bad they don’t bottle this one.

Tap at the brewpup; very tasty with a good mouthfeel. Cloudy yellow in color. Aroma of banana/bubblegum and spice. Flavor was very similar, and had a somewhat creamy mouthfeel.

Really big and sharp. I’m impressed that they didn’t just do a minor version of a hefe, its big enough in flavor to be proud of. It has a big citrus aroma, good sour banana flavor, a wonderfully full and frothy mouth feel and a cloudy yellow color.

On draft at the brewery. Pours yellow gold with a white head. Aroma of banana and clove. The flavor is also banana and cloves ( i didn’t care for the cloves). However this is still a good beer.

Draft. Pours the color of pulp-included grapefruit juice, with a great aroma with banana, clove, bubblegum, and hopcitrus. The flavor starts citric, then thrown the bubblegum, banana, and spices at you, in that order (at leats that was the order for my tongue). Smooth and crisp at the finish, this one got growlered by me.
