One of the top domestic hefes. They haven’t brewed this oone in some time and I hope they bring it back. Light straw color with a tall foamy white head. Typical clove and banana aroma and flavor. I believe they used a derivative of ’weihenstephaner’ yeast to obtain these.

2004 draft. Clear light yellow pour, small white head. Little to no aroma. What there is, has some soap, a bit of bitterness and maybe a squirt of lemon. Flavor is mildly sour, hint of lemon, no esters, banana, clove. Just a mildly sour, bland wheat flavor, with plenty of carbonation. Not fresh tasting, and more soapiness on the finish. At least it’s not too sweet.

(Draught @ Papago Brewery)

The beer pours a light “Chill Hazed” golden amber color, the head portly in size, the texture creamy and the color an off white, as it dissipates a fine concealing sheet of lace forms on the glass. Nice touch of wheat and yeast in the nose, sweet and light citrus as in lemon like noticed, “No” I don’t do the “Lemon Thing”, start quite sweet, and top light to medium in its feel. Finish is crisp in its acidity, hops pleasant and understated, dry aftertaste, a pleasing to the palate beer as it’s still in the mid 100’s as the old temperature goes.

Sampled on tap. This beer pours to a dense creamy thin white head that sits atop a lightly hazy light golden body. The aroma is nicely wheaty. Nutmeg or mace. Light banana’s foster. The flavor is white and richly banana’s foster. Unknown spice. Light toastiness. The palate is medium light bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Not too bad and very drinkable despite the low scores.

a dull yellow color w/ a strong head and decent carbonation.. the outstanding scent ot me was bannana and grass... it was actually quite good as the banana flavor stood out to me as being different.

Lienes Fest: Filtered clear yellow with a lemony soda nose. Bubbly carbonation and thin body. Lemon and thin wheatiness, grassiness. No Hefe to speak of on initial taste, but as it warms some banana esters sneak through.

Nice thick head golden color, light body. Musty weak taste. Why are the Leinencrapals getting such high ratings?
