| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 11, 2005 Moderate amount of sediments float around the murky golden body that see the little head it initially has disappearing after seconds. Off-putting very tart cookie smell, flour and wheat in abundance, a bakery yeasty smell. Short-flavored, very tart, but more in an apple matter and paired with an unpeasant and rough bitterness, reminiscent of chewing on wood as I imagine it. Atypical, very sharp but not cohesive nor very deep, certainly not too malty and sadly thin. Poor bottling job I fear. if not oxidized yet, the fill certainly could have been more generous. Too bad, I liked the High Point beers I’d had before. hopscotch (5525), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Nov 27, 2006 Draft...GBOA ’06... Cloudy, straw-colored ale with a large, frothy, white head. Great retention. Tons of clove phenols in the aroma; nothing else, in fact. Clove-laden flavor as well with some subtle citrus fruit. Way too sweet and spicy; no semblance of balance. Between light and medium-bodied. Creamy with lively carbonation. Crisp, spicy finish. Everything I don’t like about hefes is in this one. CaptainCougar (5522), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 28, 2006 Clear pale golden with a thin ring of white head. Nice bready yeasty aroma has a mild touch of sweetness and banana. Body starts with nice banana and sweet malty balance with a touch of bready yeast and clove. A nice, very drinkable hefeweizen.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 27, 2004 Sunshine peering through a primo banana plantation and clove sprinklers...Headless, laceless weizen which is quite simple but very tasty with a dry yeasty spell in the end...A bit more carbonation and wheat would maybe give it more head and a creamier body...
