Commercial Description:
Napoleon once called these beers "Champagnes of the North." Made with over 60% wheat malt and served traditionally "mit hefe," this pale, refreshing ale has spicy and fruity notes - the perfect summer beer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
