| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 13, 2007 22 oz bottle. Hazy light orange color with white head that fades quickly. Aromas of wheat, yeast, cloves, banana, and faint lemon notes. Flavor is fairly well balanced, not as spicy as the nose suggests, and ends in a drying bite. A bit watery, but otherwise tasty.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 4, 2007 22 oz. Bomber. Not as cloudy as most other hefeweizens I’ve had. A little bit more bitter than the others I’ve had, perhaps doing to the barley malt. A pretty good beer from a pretty good brewery Cobra (1066), In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA

Poured out about as you’d expect. Golden / straw yellow color, with a soapy white head. Aromas are of phenolics, lactic wheat malts, yeasty bread. Catty hops in the flavors, along with spicy phenolics, wheat bread flavors as well. Medium body, OK mouthfeel. Decent aftertaste, nothing too spicy. alexanderj (2269), Chino Hills, California, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 13, 2007 Bomber. Cloudy yellow gold with a big white head that quickly recedes to a white film. Textbook hefe nose - lemon, banana, light bubblegum, clove, yeast - it’s all there in varying degrees. Soft, light body, crisp, lightly tart. Flavors of wheat, lemon, clove, with light banana, yeast and bubblegum. I’m not a big fan of the style, and I still find this very good and easily drinkable. Well done! obguthr (1048), Poquoson, Virginia, USA

Cloudy pale golden pour with a thick head and good lacing. Rather strong and prominent banana flavor, but not complex. No finish worth mentioning. Still, it’s a fantastic beer and immensely enjoyable. CaptainCougar (5517), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Aroma of sweet malted wheat, banana and mild buttery toast with a hint of lemony tartness. Body starts lightly sweet and slightly toasty with good peppery clove and mild citrus balance. Fairly authentic and very drinkable.
