subcell (95), Portsmouth, Virginia, USA Jun 29, 2008 This wheat had the typical banana/clove aroma but also had a citrus smell that very nice. The color looked as a wheat beer should but the body was thin when drank. Not a bad wheat but not the best. FlssmrBrewAlum (1076), Lisle, Illinois, USA Jun 28, 2008 Tall draft at Aurelio’s Pizza (Frankfort, IL). A Surprising addition to the draft menu at this fantastic pizza place. Poured a nice hazy yellow with a very inviting billowy white head that sticks around and laces. Aromas are very banana, clove, and notes of citrus. Taste is very similar. Refreshing, quenching with a nice more dominant citrusy lemon flavor (Surprising, since I used to consider this a largely banana Hefe). Sweet fruity esters are a bit light, but very enjoyable but aid in the refreshing feel. A very inviting Hefe that is good, but not in the top echelon. esjaygee (1467), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Jun 25, 2008 Hazy yellow with aroma of yeast, wheat, sweet malts and banana. Taste of banana, citrus, lemon with a mild hop finish. Kinz (2179), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA Jun 20, 2008 Konig Ludwig bottling. Light gold, surprisingly towards clear versus hazy, slight head lasted decently. Aroma was faintly of clove and a touch of banana. Flavor had a grainy wheat quality, some wateriness to it, and very light banana and clove notes. Carbonic bite. Not smooth, the esters were muted. Not particularly good, lacking character. I expected more. IrishBoy (2685), Bakersfield, California, USA Jun 20, 2008 330ml bottle from Country Club Liquors; Nose is yeasty with banana and spiciness; hazy gold with a big yellowish head; flavor is spicy with some banana esters; finish is spicy and slightly bitter. chokmah33 (115), Bremerton, Washington, USA Jun 14, 2008 Fresh cut wheat, very subtle.
Lime zest, peach + honey notes.
A hint of earthy yeast smell as well.
Leathery yeast flavor stands out first, along with the wheat, which seemed very subdued. Fairly sweet, mild citrus character. Some anise and clove/allspice in the finish.
Watery palate has a slick texture.
Warm gooey finish has a strange + satisfying bitterness that builds as you drink. Odyn (205), New York, USA Jun 12, 2008 Really easy drinking wheat beer. A little lighter in the color (in that it is murky rather than cloudy) than some other hefeweizens. Some citrus on the tongue with a yeasty nose. A very good summer beverage. BeerGestapo (725), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 10, 2008 (GERMAN) Pours a light golden color with some carbonation and a sm-white head. The aroma is of wheat, banana, clove. The flavor is mild with a spice, clove, taste. The finish is kinda dry but pleasant. Not bad at all, would drink again.
