Apr 30, 2009 Appearance: Pours a vibrant bright orange-ish yellow. A tight knit foamy head sits atop.
Aroma: Big banana smell, along with cloves and bread crust. Also some bubble gum.
Taste: Clove, spicy hop, bitter, spicy and sweet wheat flavors.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and plenty carbonated.
Overall: A one of a kind wheat beer. I was expecting a much sweeter brew than what I got. Mighty layered, with bitterness, sweetness, and spiciness, and fruitiness.

Apr 29, 2009 Bottle from flssmrBrewalum. Pours a cloudy yellow color, very hazy, with a substantial white fluffy head. Aroma shows nice banana and clove, huge banana actually, with more spice character than the average hefe. Beautiful appearance in the aroma. Flavor is intense bubble gum, clove banana yadda yadda. I love Hefeweizens and this is certainly one of the top ones I’ve ever had.

Apr 29, 2009 Bottle from Discount Liquors. I’m not sure NG can do wrong, especially with wheat beers. Pours golden
with large white head. Aroma is strongly belgian wheat with some fruit. Smells very simiilar to their Imperial Weizen. Flavor is similar with some added bready notes and subtle hops. As the bottle states, this tastes like a lighter version of the Imp Weizen. Delicious and worth trying a few.

Apr 28, 2009 Bottle from noncaloric. Pours with an enormous, lovely head. Wheaty, sweet, and very gummy aroma, lemon juice and powdered sugar. Surprisingly sweet and milky flavor with a rather thin body, this tastes a bit underattenuated and not quite forward enough in its spicy yeast character. An enjoyable beer none-the-less.

Apr 24, 2009 I like it. Reminds me a bit of the Imperial Weizen but just a tamer version of it. Good pale ale notes that I enjoy with the awesome clove and cinnamon that I so enjoy in all of New Glarus’ weizens. The don’t disappoint.

Apr 23, 2009 Bottle thanks to CMUBEERMAN! Pours hazy, almost opaque gold, white head. Aroma is citrusy, vanilla an yeasty. Reminds me of those lemon Girl Scout cookies, do they make those anymore? Flavor is citrus, funk, wheat. Tart, tangy, and meaty yet still refreshing. I don’t mind the yeast in this one. Thanks so much for all the fabulous beers Andrew!

Apr 22, 2009 Tasted during the Nor Cal Beer Geek Tasting on 3/11/2009. This wheat ale pours a hazy orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is banana and clove, bubble gum. A medium bodied wheat ale. The malts are fruity and sweet, lots of banana, clove, vanilla, and orange. The hops are floral. Nice carbonation. As per usual for New Glarus beers, this one is very nicely balanced. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

Apr 20, 2009 Homerun! I love the extra hops that this wheaty beer holds. I think this beer is really drinkable and able to drink with anything.
