Cloudy honey-like orange color with thinnish head that clings to the sides of the glass.
Sweet and sugary, banana, circus peanuts, Extra bubblegum, slight impression of alcohol.
Big taste caught me off guard. Dry and almost bitter or tannic impression. Lots of citrus; somewhat odd flavor/feel. Almost hot and spicy feel that’s not very appealing to me.
Decently drinkable, considering the alcohol content.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle thanks to valpoaj. Thanks! Pours cloudy golden with fluffy white head. Aroma is pure citrus. Flavor is sweet - but ends on a dry note and is fruity with some clove in there. Only an idiot would add a lemon to this stuff. New Glarus makes me want to explore German beers more.

Sep 19, 2008 Pour is hazed orangey golden with a thin sticky off white head...smell is immediately strongly citricly hoppy with some vanilla and banana and clove as it warms...taste is sweet at first, turning nicely spiced with clove and cinnamon for sure...then a light grapefruit bitterness in the finish....this is the only hefe that I think I might actually put a lemon in...I wonder what that’d be like...

Sep 19, 2008 Thanks to bitbucket tasting. Dark blonde. Really fantastic mix of yeast, fruitiness, sweetness and pretty big citrus hops. Fantastic stuff.

Sep 15, 2008 Pours liquid gold...just as thick and radiant. Nose is semi-sweet; banana, citrus, clove, wheat, and yeast. Flavor is bold...and dominated by clove, citrus, and banana. The 9.6% ABV is truly invisible. Not my favorite style but I can appreciate the brew. New Glarus...great brewery!!! hillfiiiiire, ketchepillar, & crowderm...THANKS AGAIN!!!

Sep 13, 2008 The beer pours a thick white head with a nice ring that coast the sides of the glass. It has a cloudy orange yellow color. The nose is of sweet light fruits and citrus hops. The initial flavor is nice and bitter with hops just popping in your mouth. Overall it like how is nicely carbonated and contains the right amount of hops and malt.
