(11/5/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in San Diego. Cloudy yellow color. Aroma of banana, some phenolic notes, yeast and some spiciness. Sweet wheaty flavor with fruity esters and a bit of sourness. Medium-bodied. Refreshing.

Im putting this rating here...listed as the Harvest Wheat and the waitress said this was just another Hefe. Poured a medium yellow color with a small sized head. Aromas and tastes of some wheat, citrus, and bananas. Both on the weak and thin side like the body.

Hazy yellow beer with a creamy white head. Aroma is quite clean with only a very light fruitiness and only a light cloviness. There is a bit of light wheatiness as well. A touch of spice on the back. Fairly full malty palate. It’s okay, but it’s a little bit generic.

On-tap at the brewpub. Pours cloudy yellow orange with a medium sized, crisp white head, good lace. Smells yeasty and spicy, clove, with a hint of wheat/grain. Tastes about the same. Yeasty with light clove spiciness and some cereal malts and wheat. Medium body, vibrant carbonation.

draft at the brewpub - Pours lightly hazy yellow with a thin white head. It has a citrus aroma, a sweet wheat malt and mild citrus taste, and a lively, light palate. I think it’s a pretty good hefeweizen.

A slightly hazed yellow gold pour with a lite creamy off white head. A bannana nose with hints of clove. Bannan is there along with a bit more flavors than the nose has on it. A fine finishing flavor with no off bitters. Carbonation is good and mouthfeel is surprisingly solid as well. Very good hefe very clean flavor and finish.
