The fruity character was bolstered by a banana-like taste which really puts this one on top. No bitter aftertaste like a lot of Hefe’s. I’d take this one over any of the big European Hefe’s any day. hopnpop (68), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA

Somehow I had never tired this ( hard to find i guess. Very fruity/banana aroma in this one. Color is cloudy light yellow/oragne. I’m a big fan of this. Seems to have more pronounced flavor than most i’ve had and NOT overcarbonated at all. Very very tasty hefe! bsp77 (202), Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Poured from bottle into water glass at work.
Pale cloudy yellow. Looks orange when held away from the light. A relatively aggressive pour plus the high carbonation produces a fast forming foamy head but subsides faster than I would like without much lacing.
Smell of bananas, bananas, bananas. Also some cloves and light hops.
Despite the smell, the cloves are stronger than the banana taste. Mild wheat maltiness, with maybe a hint of hops at the end (unless that is just more clove).
Pretty high carbonation, fairly light but slightly creamy.
Easy to quaff Hefe. Very, very refreshing, and one of the best American made Hefeweizens, as it is truly German in style.

Nice, slight banana aroma, followed by some spice and coriander? Not overally sweet, with a slightly fruity finish. Very smooth, easy on the pallte summer brew. One of the best Hefe’s I have ever had. Syd (903), Waconia, Minnesota, USA
