tmoreau (527), Lombard, Illinois, USA Jul 17, 2009 Sampled at AleFest Chicago. Poured a hazy, deep gold with an average white head and streaking lace. The aroma was a touch of grain, spice as clove, and ripe banana. The flavor followed with similar notes, a bit of sweetness, a little tartness on the tongue, and some dryness to the finish. Medium body, good carbonation, and better than standard fare. AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Sep 25, 2008 Hazy dark gold with a tight white head. Nice aroma is tart wheat with a whiff of clove and banana. Smooth medium body. Good flavors of tart wheat mixed nicely with a spicy citrusy sweetness. Not bad. NobleSquirrel (1100), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 20, 2008 actually, not too shabby. Wheaty with spiciness and banana. Prickly carbonation and a nice body. sweet and quenching. Nice. drewbeerme (2223), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 20, 2008 on tap. pours hazy golden with white head. aroma is banana, cloves, wheaty and yeasty. flavor is very bananay, wheaty, a banana bomb for sure. fizzy mouth feel. still pretty good hefe. JPDIPSO (4865), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Aug 14, 2007 Cloudy straw color with a taller lasting white head. Aromas of sweet wheat and slightly over-ripe bananas, with a backdrop of light spice. Plenty of light malt and wheat in the flavors with quite a dose of yeast and bananas. Decent hefe. I usually ask that the right yeast be used and this one fits the bill. hopdog (5534), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 22, 2007 On tap at the Mickey Finn Brew Pub. Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of bananas, cloves, light wheat, and citrus. Tastes of bananas, cloves, bubble gum, and citrus. gws57 (1131), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA Jun 10, 2007 Had this one on draught at the brewpub in Libertyville, Illinois. Cloudy, light orange pour with a thick, foaming white head, spicey orange nose, with lots of berries, bananas and lemon throughout. Finished very smooth. Outstanding! BBB63 (4199), La Porte, Indiana, USA Aug 12, 2006 Hazy coppery yellow hue with a small lasting head and good lace. The aroma has notes of banana, clove, berry, dusty yeast esters, and bready malt. The taste has moderate citrus and banana fruit flavor with a light spice finish. The wheat and grains are noticed throughout. The mouth feel is lively yet soft. Slightly better than average American made Hefeweizen.
