Aug 16, 2009 12oz bottle dated April 22, 2009. The distinct Amarillio aroma is immediately evident on the nose with some banana and clove lurking underneath. It smells wonderful. There is a slight haze evident in the golden beer. A 2-3 fingered off white head sits atop the beer. The taste is citrusy Amarillo, moderate banana (actually more like banana bread with the general spiciness of the beer), clove and vanilla. Thick bodied and creamy (but never cloying), with a clean finish and some lingering bitterness. This is a very innovative beer that works remarkably well. Too bad I only brought one bottle home with me.

Aug 13, 2009 2009-08-01. Hazy pastel yellow nice white head fades. (3+) Light yeast and esters. (6+) Flavour is similar, light yeast, tart wheaty character and just a touch of grainy notes. (6+) Average palate is just a touch lighter than my preference. There is more going on here than I am fully grasping today. Very enjoyable, I hope to try this one again. Bottle at BCTC

Aug 13, 2009 12oz bottle. Color is a hazy yellow with good carbonation and a thin but tight head. Aroma of malt with a hint of hops and banana. This is a lighter bodied brew with a spicy orange taste then a light banana come in and ends with a faint sour note. After taste is a mild bitterness. Overall its a good and interesting Wheat.

Aug 12, 2009 Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is super hoppy for a hefe with some bready malts also showing up. Flavor is again starting off heavy on the hops then comes some of the banana and cloves. This is a different but outstanding beer.

Light bodied, gritty texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Aug 10, 2009 [Bottle, and on-tap at GTMW ’09] Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is very big with banana, clove, tangerine, and a little malt. Taste is clove and banana again, with a little grapefruit bitterness and solid malt throughout. The malt is much more prominent than in many of NG’s other wheat beers. Medium-thin mouthfeel, smooth, and an average length malty, dry finish. Overall this is a very nice wheat beer with an amazing aroma. I still would definitely prefer the Imperial Weizen over this, but it is very enjoyable nonetheless.

Aug 10, 2009 Poured a dark yellow with the promissed long lasting pillowy head. Good wheat ale notes of wheat, clove, maybe banana, and other spices. Then, the promised hops cut through for a clean finish. Very good.
