650ml brown bottle. 2007. Dark gold/orange shade, quite cloudy/murky. Holds a small white head. Citrus (lemon) and fruit (light banana, fresh apple) aromas. Has vanilla, wheat, caramel, lemony accents, with mild alcohol, late leafy hop note. Actively carbonated, medium body.

Bottle. Cloudy gold. Fading white head. Nose is wheat, soft alcohol, candied fruit, and hops. Light yeast notes as well. Taste is sweet and hoppy. Some lemon comes through as do melon and pear along with yeast notes, wheat and candy. Soft spices and hop bitterness. Body is medium with a strong dense carbonation. Finishes with more grains, lemon, melon, yeast, candied notes and light alcohol. Not really a German Hefe, per se, I’d put this into the ASA category.

bottled, poured dark yellow/light red hue with minimal white head, aroma of sweet malt with mild hops and hint of alcohol, nice malt flavor with very mild bitter not as heavy/carbonated on the palate as most hefs, not bad

22oz bottle. Pours hazy yellow. Sweet malt aroma. Just a touch of fruity character. ... then KP stole my notebook and wrote ,"my girlfriend wants a baby, but I can’t be tied down to one woman." How true that is.

Bottle from Hollingshead’s Deli. Not, not, not impressed. Tasted like any old bargain hef like Widmer or a poor pull of Four Peaks. Overwhelming bitter finish, very hollow and unfounded lemon topnotes. Just not impressive.
