Aug 24, 2009 Bottle via trade. Pours cloudy yellowish with a nice foamy white head. Aroma is wheat, yeast, banana, and clove. Flavor is more of the same, well-balanced with citrusy hops, definitely more bitterness than your typical American wheat ale. Medium-bodied and refreshing. Pretty damn good, same level as Dancing Man more or less.

Aug 20, 2009 [2415-20090801] Bottle. Plastic yeast aroma. Hazy, light yellow brown body with a quick foamy white head. More plastic foamy flower yeast flavour with a long aftertaste. Medium body. Not wonderful but interesting enough.

Aug 19, 2009 Bottle. This is the best wheat beer in the world? It certainly is wheaty. A sharp wheat aroma pervades this beer. Actually, I’m unable to detect any malt or hops in the aroma or taste. The wheat astringency is almost overpowering. Can you tell I don’t like wheat beers?

Aug 19, 2009 12oz bottle. Bright yellow color. White fluffy head. Aroma of spicy Amarillo hops. Heavenly! Very strong dry hopping, a very fresh bottle. Flavor of lemon zest, hops, sharp wheat. Until it warms, the hops overpower any flavor of the wheat. Which is fine because it is such a great hop variety.

Aug 17, 2009 Nose - for me - is just fantastic - estery banana and clove of a hefe blending with the bitter citrusy hops. Flavor is more of the same in spades, really luxurious hefe character with a touch of funkiness upfront, and a really nice transition to the roof-of-the-mouth bitterness from the dry hopping that closes the beer crisp and clean. Sourness/funkiness increases in flavor and complexity as it warms. Just awesome.

Aug 16, 2009 Interesting brew. Starts off like a good fresh hefe than finishes with some piney hop bitterness. Aroma is banana and clove fo sho. Flavor is a sweet citrusy banana, and bready malts. Pretty good beer, with some nice lively flavors. Try it
