Jul 1, 2007 Draft... RBSG 07, Minneapolis location... Hazy, straw-colored ale with a tiny, fizzy, white head. Regarding the aroma, I’m not picking up any of the typical fruity esters of a “hefe,” but definitely some spicy, clove and smoke phenols. Like everything else at this location, the flavor is mainly tangy/acidic, which I like. Lightly sweet with restrained clove and, there we are, some under ripe banana. Light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and almost-non-existent carbonation. Tangy, scathing, dry finish.

Oct 4, 2007 Draft @ Minneapolis Brewpub: Light hazy, no head, light lacing. Nose of light ester and a bit of wheat. The flavor is a bit stale and starchy. Light hop and grassy metal in the tail. Meh.

Jul 16, 2007 On tap (sampler) at the Minneapolis location, June 2007. Hazy straw colour. Not much estery fruit in the aroma, but plenty of spicy cloves. Standard wheat beer elements to the flavour - banana, spices, cloves, vanilla, citrus. More spicy than estery. Thankfully fairly free of bubblegum. The mouthfeel is quite tart with a sour edge that I thought detracted from the overall impression.
