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.

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.

On 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
