May 16, 2003 Smooth and easy drinking. I found some banana in this (aroma and even taste) but little to none of the typical clove - that's o.k. - it made it all the more drinkable. Nice light hop finish too. Now, I've got to figure out how to drink it while using the weed whacker at the same time...

Aug 22, 2002 Aroma typically wheaten but very light. Color a cloudy yellow-gold with average head---some lace...Flavor features the signature wheat aspects of concurrent sweetness and tang, although both are very muted in this brew. Hops are also very light. Body is adequate, and the finish is just a tapered version of the main body. There is nothing objectionable about this offering, but nothing very memorable either. This is one instance in which I might recommend the lemon to perk-up a fairly drab profile.

Jan 1, 2003 Golden cloudy color. Initial odor of rising bread fades quickly. Slightly sour citrus flavor.

May 18, 2004 I appear to be agreeing with consensus here- this is a bland, boring wheat beer. Pours cloudy yellow-orange with a thick, puffy off-white head. Tangy, bitter, zesty aroma. Flavor is rather weak and rather cardboardy with tangy and earthy notes. No banana or clove flavors suggestive of a "hefeweizen" the label claims the beer to be. Instead, this has a rather creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Falls far, far short of other American Wheats like Bell’s Oberon. Wet and lifeless.

Apr 5, 2004 Noticeably hazy, yellow coloring. Head disappates quickly. Sweet, grassy aroma. Flavor is dominated by yeast and wheat with subtle citrus notes. Grows bitter as beer approaches room temperature. Excellent when served with a slice of lemon.

Sep 13, 2004 Updated: Sep 8, 2007Bottled this time, not nearly as good. A little thicker taste than the other hefs i have tried, but not a knockout by any stretch....the search continues...

Mar 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange golden body with a white head. Wheat character of citrus, lemon grass, and a note of spice. Banana and caramel malt. A hint of paper.

May 20, 2009 Draft at NRA Show in Chicago. Used to drink a lot of this ten + years ago living in San Diego. Paler yellow pour. Lightly clouded. Citrusy lemony. Fainted banana & clove aspect but citrus dominated. Decent summer deck beer but way better options out there
