Big banana ester and yeas aroma. Looks like orange juice - hazy opaque orange-yellow. Acidic, tangy, citrus even without the lemon. Good mouth. Acidic, grainy medium quick finish. Banana taffee carbonation. Pretty decent.

This beer has a frothy white head that sits atop a beer that is fully hazy and a straw color. The aroma has notes of clove and a bit of banana, plus there are some spritzy wheat notes as well. The beer is soft and creamy up front with a bit of acidity that reminds me of lemons. There is also a bit of phenolic astringency in the finish. I definitely like the soft fruitiness that is found here as well as the spicy character from the wheat in the finish. This is a pretty good example of a German Hefeweizen.

Had this at the Ahwatukee location.
Cloudy lemon yellow with a good head and lacing. Heavy aroma of banana lemon and citrus. Flavor is all lemon, citrus, pineapple and banana. Nice tangy finish.

Served w/out a lemon in an English Imperial pint. Pours a cloudy med. yellow with a tight glossy head. Heavy esters of bubblegum, cinnamon, clove and banana. Thin body. Served way too cold. Tangy, cold and fruity. As it warmed I noticed slight phenols. No hops. Not bad, but nothing special.

(Ahwatukee) R.B. No lemon squeezed into this beer. Pours a cloudy yellow, thin head. Very spiced (cloves, incense), banana, citrus (lemon/orange), yeast elements, which tasted somewhat like sunscreen. All the flavors went together very well. Pleasant surprise.

Excellent hef. in my opinion. Everything is as advertised...banana, clove etc. yet it has a crisp and clean finish. Very tasty with a faint banana aroma and a med. foamy white head. Those bubbles just keep on coming, giving it a very crisp appearance also. If you’re not sure, ask for a sample...they’re big on samples.
