Clear golden body, white head. Banana aroma. Tart banana flavour. Yummy. Much better filtered.

Slightly hazy golden orange body with a thin white head. Sweet banana, orange peel, and a hint of honey aroma. Sweet banana flavor and some honey, slightly tart. Fairly fizzy mouthfeel

Hazy yellow with no head. Clovey nose, less banana than clove. Good wheat in the flavor. Very low bitterness. Good beer, but lacks the creamy body of a hefe (duh.)

Draft... ODBF2006... Hazy, light yellow ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Typical hefe aroma... banana, light smoke, bubblegum, clove, etc. Same with the flavor except it’s a little citrusy (lemon) as well. Well-balanced. A touch sweet, but adequately bittered. Medium-bodied with an ultra-creamy mouthfeel and slight carbonation. Crisp, spicy finish. I always thought a kristallweizen was supposed to be crystal clear. This is a hefe, me thinks.

(ODBF06, draft) Small white head atop a lightly hazed apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, banana, clove, light wheat. Taste is the same. Watery light body with light crispness.
