650 ml bottle from bev4less. Pours a cloudy yellow with no head. The aroma is moderate in strength with citrus, mild banana and clove spices. The flavor is murky citrus (mostly lemons) with light cloves and a bit of dust. The palate is thin and oily. The finish is short with lemons. Overall: Ordinary hefe wih way too much citrus. I think that I had an old bottle, note to self--look for this fresh.

Sep 12, 2009 Bonus bottle from SnoJerk321. Thanks! The aroma on this one is of light banana, clove, and a good deal of lemon. Pours hazy orange yellow with absolutely no head and lace into my weizen glass. Flavor is lemony and light banana/sweet clove notes. Zesty carbonation. I would probably be more into this if it were less tart and citrusy.

Aug 18, 2009 Bomber from Monument in Concord, CA. Pours a slightly hazy yellow/gold with a small white head. Aromas of yeast and citrus. Medium body with sharpish carbonation. Flavors are clove, yeast, arguably citrus, revealing banana. Somehow it seems a bit gummy to me. Not bad, but not really tasty.

Jul 5, 2009 Another beer at JW77’s July 4th party. Cloudy yelllow pour, fluffy light head. Lots of yeast, banana, clove in the nose and carries right into the flavor. Not bad, not amazing.

May 25, 2009 Appearance: Pours a cloudy, orange-yellow body with a discouragingly small-sized, fizzy, white head. No amount of vigorous swirling can seem to resuscitate it.
Smell: Tangy-scented wheat aroma with supporting notes of citrus, dried banana chips, clove, and one solitary drop of vanilla.
Taste: Tangy malted wheat taste with some crisp graininess and a full dose of sugary sweetness. Sure, it’s a bit on the sweet side for a hefeweizen, but I’ll let that slide. Touches of faintly tart citrus, banana, and lightly spicy clove follow. Very minimal amount of hop bitterness. Then, it’s back to the citrus, banana, vanilla blend giving a suggestion of a smoothie, in terms of flavor. Lightly effervescent, dry finish with a lasting hint of tangy wheat and spice.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation. Slight smooth, creamy wheat-bolstered mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Worth a try. I’d say a little work on the appearance is in order, but otherwise it’s a fairly enjoyable, easy drinking hefe.
