Dickinsonbeer (3434), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Feb 15, 2009 Quite a bit better than the raspberry version- but not that great overall. Pours a light golden hazy with a thin head. Aroma is slight diacetyl and buttery light sweetness, ok bready and some wheat- ok hefe character a bit too phenolic with some clove and more butter. Lightly spicy flavor- phenolic clove, crisp crackery wheat malts and overall a bit weak and watered down with a lower than expected carbonation making the beer feel a bit more slick. beermansteve (12), , New Hampshire, USA Jun 27, 2008 Another great selection from Milly’s. great wheat beer that is clearly unfiltred and served ice cold from their hand pump. try it hophead75 (1945), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Oct 30, 2006 on tap at the brewpub. Hazy light golden. Aroma is banana, clove, wheat. Taste is banana, some spices and yeast, light tart finish. Good hefe. tonyc603 (43), New Hampshire, USA Oct 19, 2006 I always ask for this type of beer without a lemon, this time I forgot, so I ordered a second pint and drank the lemon one after I was finished with the non-lemon...everyone follow that? Cloudy golden color(lots of nice yeast still in there of course),with a nice firm white head. Aroma is wonderful, nce banana, and a bit of clove, though not the bubblegum some people say. Flavor was well balanced between the malt and the yeast, not much for hops here.Slightly sweet and refreshing with a hint of citrus to go along with the banana and clove. The body is fuller than some hefes but it doesn’t make it less drinkable. Balthazar (86), Clinton, Massachusetts, USA Oct 8, 2006 Served to me on tap at Volgons... This was the last pure glass from the keg... haha Volgon’s last beer... another victory for me!
A clean honey color. Immediate light hints of banana. The banana accentuated the aroma in the second taste. A nice mix of yeast and malt with light hops... like I like it. Would be great on a hot summer day.
Glad to get a taste before it was gone :) jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Aug 16, 2006 on tap-pours a thin white head with cloudy gold color. Aroma is banana, spice, sweet. Taste is banana, clove, sweet, creamy, good secondary hops presence at finish. Good effervescence/carbonation.
LyndaNova (492), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jul 22, 2006 Updated: Sep 27, 2006On tap at home: Pours a cloudy golden orange color with a fluffy ivory head which eventually dissipates to mostly bubbles around the edges. Aroma is of yeast and grass with notes of spice and lemon. Taste is mostly sweet; with light grains, lemon and very soft bitterness. Mildly carbonated. Palate perfection. Ending is short but sweet with fine notes of sour and bitter. *Either it’s the glasses we use at home or Mike has perfected this Hefeweizen! Thank you so much, Mike! This beer is fabulous!*
Old rating of 3 on 7/22/06: On tap at Milly’s Tavern: Cloudy golden color with a fluffy ivory head. Aroma is grassy and crisp with mild spicy notes. Taste is sweet and sour, fizzy, with a hoppy ending. BitchesBrew (710), Berkeley, California, USA Jul 18, 2006 Pours a glowing, hazy yellow color. Head starts out strong, eventually leaves a nice layer on the top of the beer. Flavors are expected of the usual Hefeweizen- lemon zest, sweet wheat and subtle spices. Finishes with a touch of vanilla and bubble gum. Though not my favorite style, this is extremely drinkable.
