tap at brewery-alongside Ernest and Aubery-pours a cloudy yellow hue with a small white head around the rim of the glass. estery, banana aroma, but is that artificial? the over-presence of the banana in the flavors suggests extract. lots of residual sweetness and a little metallic. not that good of a rendition.

Hazy orange with a thin head. Lightish body; lively carbonation. Pretty sweet hefe. Explodes with sugary banana and a little butter. Subtle hints of yeast and clove here and there. Very mild bitterness to tame the sweetness.

Virtually no head. Body is hazy medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), trace yeast (cobwebs), with notes of bubble gum, banana, and a hint of clove. Flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, unclean. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Somewhat artificial nose that reminds one more of a banana Snapple drink than, say, a Weihenstephaner or Andechser Hefeweizen. That follows into the flavor with a weird saccharine-like sweetness that totally dominates the tartness, and leaves a residual tongue-coating film that I must say was unsettling. Was banana extract used instead of German yeast? I cannot say, but I can say this was not a particularly enjoyable rendition for my tastes.
