Dec 1, 2009 Growler from FW. Murky orange with a short-lived white head. Lots of banana and lemony wheat up front with light spicy clove behind. The labor, however, is kinda bland. There isn’t much banana, and the lemon is faint as well. The clove is almost non-existant. There is also a hint of plastic. Lightly sweet finish with minimal bitterness. Medium body heavied by the light prickly carbonation. Decent hefe at best.

Nov 22, 2009 Draft @ Toronado. Pours a murky, orangish / pulpy grapefruit color; off-white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Good amounts of bubble gum, esters, and very light white pepper in the aroma; solid hefe note. Medium mouthfeel: chewy bubble gum, Belgian esters, honey and light pepper notes; nicely complex; pleasant hefeweizen. Medium finish: pepper, toasty notes; nicely dry.

Sep 10, 2009 A pleasant wheat beer. Cloudy, spicy, sweet, banana, cloves. It is really well done - not overly impressive, but good none the less.

Jul 28, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. I got a special preview of all of the ales from one of the owners. Pours a murky, cloudy translucent yellow with a whispy, cloudy white head. Pleasant aroma has plenty of grass, clove, other spice, bubble gum, lemon zest. Flavor is nice, grassy, peppery, a little floral. Finish is chalky, a little dry. Nice example of a Hef, good summer beer, one that can appeal to many drinkers.
