Apr 11, 2009 Bottle. Pour is hazy golden with a thick creamy head. Aroma is very fresh with tons of light fruity esters. Flavor is up front wheat and citrus with some sweetness finishing with a bit of clove. Very well balanced beer but could perhaps use less clove. Very fine.

Apr 11, 2009 Pours a hazy yellow body with a bubbly white head. Aroma of banana and cloves. Flavor is sweet, tons of yeast, finish of cloves. Really clean and crisp finish. This might be the first wheat ale I’ve actually liked. Kudos, New Glarus.

Apr 10, 2009 Bottle via a trade with Daknole. Pours with a large, foamy white head over a hazed golden body. Head leaves good lace. Aroma of banana and tons and tons of vanilla pudding. Slightly spice note and a slight earthy presence. More vanilla milkshake like aroma when sniffed again. A vanilla bomb! Taste is spiced with a slightly medicinal note. Long finish of vanilla extract and a touch of orange. Light carbonation and a water like mouthfeel.

Apr 8, 2009 Bottle - Pours hazy light amber-yellow with a big frothy head. There’s wheat, spice, and orange on the nose. Taste is refreshing and sweet with some hop bitterness and spice, followed by a yeasty finish. Medium bodied and creamy. I thought I’d like this one a lot more based on what I’d been hearing.

Apr 8, 2009 Bottle in trade from pantanap. Thank you Kan! This is a formidable wheat ale with a slight bite and a great Pale Ale color. Nose is very light hop and banana. Flavor is the same but with none of that sediment or flour that wheat ales normally end with. Someone asked in a thread this Fall ’Wheat Ales - what’s the point?’ Honestly, I think this beer may be it.

Apr 4, 2009 Bottle pours pale straw and cloudy with a big sustaining head and very clingy lace. The aroma is banana and clove, with orange zest - very nice and distinctive. The flavor is almost like a banana bread spiced with clove with orange icing. The palate is refreshing aided by the citrus zest. Overall, an outstanding Weizen.

Apr 3, 2009 Bottle from Ross, which he got from some asshole named Ryan (Juelze). Pours a hazy amber orange with a huge two fingers white head that dissipates to a 1/8" ring. Wonderful fruity ester, citrusy aroma with a hint of spice and bubblegum. . Lighter side of medium bodied with a earthy, but refreshing mouthfeel. Flavor of pale wheat malts and spicy hops, transitioning to clove phenols on the finish. Moderate attenuation. This could use a little more heft in the malt, as it comes across a tad watery. Something is odd on the finish that I can’t put my finger on. Oh well. Not bad overall.
