| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/20 | Aug 21, 2006 Updated: Apr 1, 2009Draught at the brewery. Back on in May 2007, and this most recent batch is kind of bad. Lactic infection tasting, couldn’t finish a pint it was so moldy, very young and not completely fermented, really too full of brewers yeast. Not good. Here’s my review for the 2006 batch: cloudy thick-looking orange and dark yellow colored body, with a small white head. Frothy, creamy smooth texture. Lightly spicy banana esters as well. Lightly bready as well. Sour lemon and peach flavors are present, with some chewy and creamy peach rind and yeast flavors. Good, but lacking a depth of complexity. More peach in the nose than bananas, actually, which is kind of nice. Palate is moderately syrupy and peppery. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 26, 2006 I am a bit of a wheat fan so I was a bit biased in favor of this one. Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a bright golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is wheaty and grainy with light spicy and fruity undertones. The flavor is yeasty and bready with a nice mix of citrus and bubblegum. The body is surprisingly thick. A nice hefe.
