Jun 22, 2006 (05.13.06) On tap at Mickey Finns, Libertyville, IL. Poured hazy yellow with no discernable head. No discernable carbonation. Clove and sweet malt aroma. Light to medium bodied ale that starts with light malt sweetness and odd tutti-fruitti and candy flavors. Finished with tutti-fruitti flavor fade and light hop bitterness. Not one of Mickey Finn’s better beers.

Jul 24, 2005 Cloudy straw colored body. Sweet bubblegum and wheat malt base with toasted banana and clove highlights. Pretty similar aroma. Above-average mouthfeel in terms of viscosity. Toasty finish. Not a bad hefe.

Jun 7, 2005 Updated: Jul 23, 2005On tap at the pub: The clarity of the yellow body is the only major flaw of this beer. Nice foamy white head. The aroma is of lemon grass and banana with a whiff of subtle spiciness. This is very soft in the mouth. It’s got a nice clean banana flavor with cloves and a dollop of lemony acidity. Very refreshing drink. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Finn’s Brewery, Libertyville, IL<font size=-1>

Jul 14, 2004 From Growler. Overwhelming banana flavor conquers anything else. Perhaps a light wheat body starts to show up toward the end. Odd ochre yellowish body.

Jul 2, 2004 Sample at the brewpub. Lightly hazy, honeyish look...gorgeous big banana nose with some vanilla and pepper. Big fruity flavor, lots of malt, no bitterness, perhaps a might yeasty towards the end.

Oct 20, 2003 Definitely not for the wheat-o-phobic. Opaque appearance with very earthy flavoring. It has a lot of character from start to finish. A very good example of a quality crafted wheat beer.

Aug 1, 2003 Updated: Jun 4, 2006Re-rate: lots of carbonation with little flavor, not as good as I remember from 2 years ago.Wow is this good. They pour this into a traditional wheat glass and it deserves it. A cloudy honey color with a medium white head. Aroma is large: bananas, cloves, wheat, and bubblegum. Taste if full and rich with a lasting aftertaste. The best they offer here.
