| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 27, 2007 Appears a hazy light gold with a 2 finger small white head that fades into a mild cap and a hearty cap.
Smell is of bananas, clove, tart, tart wheat, with citrus.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with some crisp wheat, doughy yeast, and citrusy bananas standing out.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly tart and citrusy with light spice grazing the tongue. jgb9348 (2498), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 18, 2007 Nice slightly hazy golden coloured body with a very large white head. Tons of bubbles rise from the bottom - and a very nice unfiltered look to this one! Aroma of fresh wheat, yeast, lemons, bananas, coriander seed and some spice. Medium-bodied; Spicey flavour up front with some good wheat and yeast characteristics following soon behind. Aftertaste shows more of the wheat, some coriander seed and a very pleasant banana sweetness. Overall, a good beer - a nice wheat to have in the summertime and one to definitely sample if you can find it in or around Virginia. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Grape & Gourmet in Virginia Beach, Virginia on 17-September-2007. hopdog (5562), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA

hazy yellow, whispy white head, sweet banana aroma that picks up clove after warming, nice creamy body, lots of clove in the flavor with just a bit of sweet banana to balance, light bitterness

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 12, 2007 On tap at the Microfestivus ’07... Cloudy pour, with active carbonation visible through the haze. Cloudy head is nicely retentive. Bouquet is of bananas and cloves. The flavors are a bit dry, with definitive yeast notes coming through mid-palate, complimenting a light banana and subtle, dry spice. The finish is lightly dry-hopped, ending with a touch of sours, citrus and more yeast. Mouthfeel is both creamy and zesty, which made for the best part of the brew. Definitely refreshing, but seems a bit underdone. It misses the clove finish teased in the nose. The dry body comes across at times as "thinness". Hits on most points, but integrates at odd times throughout the pull. Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 9, 2007 Bottle. Pours a somewhat hazy golden yellow colour with a fairly healthy, but quickly disapating head. Nose leads with citrus, yeast, and a sprinkle of banana. Flavors continue with that sour/citric profile with a far away background of sweet bananas. Mouthfeel was pleasently creamy which I like in a hefeweizen. Tart finish with a ever so small hoppiness. I didn’t mind this one at all and if I ever was in their brewing area, I would pick another one up.
