| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 17, 2009 Pours a clear yellow golden, slightly hazy, with a tall white dense foam. Lighter very sweet aroma, touch of hops, apple, faint cinnamon and clove. Sweeter flavor, bit of apple, lightly spiced, fruity bubble-gum, finishing a bit hot and with some ripe bananas and clove. Watery body. DSG (1515), Tel Aviv, Israel
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 31, 2009 Bottle from Sammy. Thanks! Cloudy orange color with a big, very slowly-diminishing, white head. Good aroma of wheat, fruity esters (some banana, mango hints and some other fruits) and clove. Sweetish flavor with light acidic notes, banana, light spiciness, a bit of bubblegum, a bit of bread and light bitterness in the finish. Nice fluffy mouthfeel, A really good Weizen.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 31, 2009 Cloudy pale golden in color with an initially large, but quickly diminishing head of white foam. Very nice aroma hinting of clove, banana and vanilla in a highly expressive manner. Flavor is complex and balanced very well. Notes of toffee and caramel, with a touch of golden raisin, and notes of banana and clove. Outstanding German wheat ale. New Glarus could be better than Weihenstephan at the style.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Jan 28, 2009 Bottle Bonus from StFun. Poured a very hazy rich orange color with a little carbonation. Aroma was rich with banana esters and left me want to do nothing but smell this beer! Flavor of clove, banana, and pleasant sugary malts. No question about it, one of my favorite hefe’s to date. I may have to make a trip to WI to pick some of this up! Dubbercody (214), Vancouver, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 20, 2009 Golden and hazy. Very foamy and effervescent. Wheaty, sweet, nice beer. Very enjoyable and I’d definitely drink it again...to bad I can’t pick it up locally.
Nice wheat...really didn’t taste the 7.2 ABV... awaller05 (301), Sharon, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 2/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 20, 2009 This beer was just a little too sweet for my likes. May have been a little too light of a beer for my tastes. TURDFERGUSON (1606), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA
