Mar 9, 2008 Pours a deep mahagony reddish brown with a lasting medium to small head. Aroma is on the sweet side with tons of caramel malts typical bana and dried fruits esters and a light phenolic vanilla as well but definitely skewed towards sweet and fruity. Flavor is also sweet and sticky with caramel malts, toffee, nuts, light chocolate, fruity esters, banana and fusel alcohols. Pretty smooth overall.

Mar 29, 2008 12-oz bottle. Pours brown with an average, rocky, light brown head, somewhat diminishing with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, straw, nutty), light hops (grass), average yeast (dough, earth) with notes of banana and date. Full bodied, alcoholic texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Mar 8, 2008 Pours a hazy brown with orange/amber notes and a large foamy/creamy off white lacing head. Aroma of strong banana and clove, some dark fruits, toasted malt and nuts. Flavor of the same banana and clove, dark fruits, toffee, some nuts and toasty malt. Nice and smooth with a ton of flavor! If I made this beer I would be proud! If the home brewed version tasted anything like this...I could see why it won!

Mar 18, 2008 A well rounded beer. Very yeasty and malty with a slight hop finish. Nice dark reddish color and the head is decent, but doesnt last too long. Easy to drink.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle. Sweet peach/banana, clove and wheat malt with just a hint of alcohol. Cloudy orange-brown color with small head. Sweet ripe banana/peach, clove, and wheat malt flavor. Light alcohol aftertaste. A spectacular beer - they really need to make this a regular beer. I just automatically expect that US Weizens won’t match German ones but this is one that not only stands up to the style but exceeds my expectations. Thank God I found this beer.
