Jul 15, 2005 Bottle courtesy of MrFacto. Pours straight golden with ring of bubbles. Huge yeasty banana aroma with lots of spice. Initial flavor is all banana with some clove in the finish. Very yeasty/chewy body. Very fine brew.

Jul 15, 2005 The Lure:
Enchanting bubblegum notes emulsified in sweet banana purée. Honest cloves embark on a long journey to seek out some peaches, and other miscellaneous fruit.
The Festivities:
The low carbonation is probably a sign of the age of this weizen (1-year-old). Joyful sweet candy and yeast-laden bananas fade into a subtle finish, which isn’t spicy or refreshing. As is right now, this bottle is a tad too sweet, and recalls more of an American take of the hefeweizen style than an authentic example. Will have to taste really fresh next time, as I feel like I missed something with all those great ratings.
Transcendence:
I am less of sweet tooth when summer is in full swing.

Jun 25, 2005 Bottle: Courtesy of Styles. Strong wheat, light banana, and light clove in the aroma. Pours a cloudy dull orange with a small white head. Strong banana presence in the flavor. Finishes somewhat smokey with light clove. Smokiness lingers into the aftertaste mixed with the banana.

Jun 25, 2005 Bottle from Styles. Light yellow colored and just a touch cloudy. No head. Clove, bananna and a touch of smoke in aroma. Light bodied, decently carbonated. Requisite flavors for a decent wheat beer. Decent.

Jun 21, 2005 I forgot to swirl the bottle before opening at the Noogfest. The body was lightly hazy with a bright quality. The aroma of banana and clove was very pronounced. The taste of bananas and clove was very nice. The full body finished spicy with a hint of bell pepper.

Jun 21, 2005 Hazy yellow (light gold). Nice sweet fruity banana aroma. Huge fruity banana flavor, with a good clove balance. Some spices and just enough malt provide a good balanced strong back to this beer. Really good stuff
