Jul 27, 2005 Strange, a couple summers ago, this beer tasted as the description said, with the banana and clove. Perhaps they mixed up our orders of Hefe and the new Wiezenbock, because the wiezen tasted more like I remembered the Hefe to be. Anyway, what I had was a cloudy light amber with little head. Aroma was nice and yeasty and citrusy and so was the flavour. Both this and the weizenbock were very sour, but with the fruity flavours in there, it actually worked kinda nice. Not much hops, medium-light body and flavour. It certainly is different, but I wonder how intentional all this sour beer is...

May 2, 2005 Lots of wheat/yeast in the nose with just a bit of citrus. The taste is bland and not really that exciting. Drinkable but for the lovers of Hefe this will be greatly dissapointing.

Feb 22, 2005 This was a weird one. Farmhouse-like aroma and flavor, but also like an extreme wit. Flavors of white grapes and coriander with a pasty, musty finish and a weird, high carbonation fizzy spiced wit flavor. Tart as well. Certainly unique.

Feb 21, 2005 Flavor: white grapes, honey, some grapefruit, no wheat flavors
Palate: smooth but bubbly, no real perceiveable body
Overall: not like a hefeweisen at all--more like a mead or white wine in both flavor, aroma, and palate. Very interesting though--very drinkable if you like meads/white wines.

Jan 22, 2005 Very hazy, dimished muddy golden, smells is very nice -- good esters of light clove, body is weak -- slightly thin, and there’s a light sour that’s a bit out of place. An oily mud rests at the bottom of the glass. Props to my sis for bringing this one back from AA.
