A fairly pleasant surprise. While not the best wheat I’ve ever had, it poured nice, had a good taste (banana and all), and was worth the buy.

I picked up some of this when I was in West Virginia and was trying to find something different to try... Cloudy; deep golden color - almost orange. Generous amount of carbonation and a foamy white head. Aroma is banana, clove, and some floral undertones. Nicely balanced banana and clove flavor. A bit sweeter than other German-style hefeweizens. Slightly dry finish with more of the yeast flavor coming through. Good mouthfeel. I found this hefe very enjoyable and a pleasure to drink. This was my first beer from Pennsylvania Brewing Company and after having it, I am eager to try other beers from the brewery. 12 oz bottle; $7.99/6-pack.

most likely my least favorite beer of all time. it has a very odd smell, almost undescribable its appearance is ok but not as dense a head as i typically look for. the big problem with this beer is the flavor. there is alot of flavor but it doesnt taste like beer. its like and extremely spicy ginger snap, almost reminds me of a christmas beer, only without everything good about a christmas beer. def not a fan

Cloudy, bright gold appearance with a large white head that faded quickly. Strange aroma; reminded me of the vinyl/plastic that they make inflatable toys with. Taste is wheaty, spicy, tart, a hint of lemon, and some some sour notes as it finishes. Metallic aftertaste.

Cloudy yellow color with weak white head. Medium sweet and wheat aroma. High carbonation. The flavor is at first sweet then wheat malts and lemon. Nice yeast influence too.

Pours hazy gold with a large white head. Soft clove and banana aroma with a hint of citrus--very nice. The flavor doesn’t exactly fulfill the promises of the aroma, but it’s not bad. The flavors (standard hefe stuff) are good but subdued, and the finish is quick and unimpressive.
