Nov 21, 2004 This is the real deal in terms of body and flavor. Pours cloudy no matter how hard you try - great balance in the aroma of clove and some wood and much wheaty sourdough. Great flavors melt in waves; first some sweet bubblegummy esters, but immediately there’s the wheat tang - the sourness, the breadiness. Carbonation dimishes rapidly, and the sourness is a little much, but close on up there in authenticity. Thanks go out to the Facto man for the provision. I wish I had much more. Traditional.

Nov 18, 2004 Bottle pours a slightly hazy golden, small white film of a head, lively carbonation, with sparce lacing. Wonderful dried banana chip like aroma. Quite dominant, moreso than many other Bavarian examples. Flavor is also quite fruity, banana & apples. Slightly wheaty mouthfeel, a bit thick too, er syrupy like a doppelbock. Nice body, good mouthfeel. Better than I expected coming from what it looked like. Finishes quite bananaesque, light tartness on the aftertaste, somewhat sweet bockish tinge. Tasty! Thanks goes out to heemer77 for the trade!

Nov 16, 2004 Gold Coloring with White Ring. Citrusy..Little Tangy... Dominating Coriander Presence...but Nice and Soft and Not Overbearing. I Prefer a Bit More Citrus in the Mix, But This Was a Very Enjoyable Hefe.

Nov 7, 2004 The operative word for this beer is pungent. Incredibly estery with aroma and flavor of circus peanuts, clove, and nail polish remover. This reminds me of Dark Horse Sapient Trip Ale with its reliance on yeast flavors. Tangy around the edges and rather thin-bodied. Aggressively carbonated, but what head forms quickly disappears. I liked this beer, but wouldn’t call it the second-best German hefeweizen. Thanks Matt (MrFacto) for the bottle!
