Commercial Description:
The grain bill for this beer is big, and it calls for over 60% wheat malt. The Wheat malt also helps to contribute to the whiteness of this beer. The high gravity of this beer combined with the suspended yeast give it a luscious, nectar-like mouthfeel. The Yeast are essential to the beer, as they give it characteristic fruity tones such as Clove, Banana, Vanilla, and Bubblegum.

Good solid Millstream beer. Golden straw color and a hint of citrus on the palate.

Sampled on draught at the GTMW ’08. Pours a semi-hazy golden light amber brew with a thick white head that slowly dissipates to a thin white head that stays with the glass. Aroma of typical hefe character of yeast, cloves, banana and some flowery hops. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of banana, citrus zest, cloves a touch of white pepper and some dry spice. Finish has a mild banana and yeast aftertaste that quickly disappears.

On tap at the Millstream Brewery. Fruity hefe aroma. Smooth and wheat malt smell. Hint of grain and banana as well. Pours a hazy and cloudy orange with an off white head that stays for the entire beer. Great lacing, very delicate looking. Medium to light body with no carbonation feeling. Very creamy. Tastes of banana, sweet citrus, wheat, malty, tad bit spicy, and a slight lingering bitterness. Overall, a really good hefe. Well made and a very solid beer. Having this at the brewery makes me appreciate it even more.

Orange and lemon aroma. White frothy head that diminished in about 2 minutes. Deep orangish gold colors. Flavor has bananas, orange peel, some sweetness with a light bitter duration. Flavors seem well balanced. Palate is medium light but rich enough. Not bad.

Very cloudy dark gold with a white head. The aroma has some bananas and light earthy roses. The taste has some light banana peels and sharp black pepper spice in the finish. There is also some clove that comes through once you have swollowed the beer. A decent effort from Millstream, but a little sharp in the finish.

This is a superior hefe. The palate is a wheat base, naturally enough, with walnuts in the background and a banana/clove hybrid coming forward on the tongue. Very nice, and pleasantly complex for this genre of brew.

Cloudy yellow pour with a medium sized white head. Aroma of lemons and grain. Similar flavor, some banana and buttered popcorn as well. The grain sticks around in the finish. Decent.

Draft at Taste Bistro on Melrose in Iowa City. Cloudy yellow color with a delicate head that laces the glass as you finish it off. Love the yeast. Nice grainny, fruity aroma with estery banana flavor. Excellent replica of a German classic. If you’re thirsty and it’s hot...this is your beer.
