Bottle sample at the Brevard Beer Fest Definately one of the best hefeweizen out there. It has what you would expect in a hefeweizen with a large head, banana and citrus aroma, fruity and yeast taste with a tough of bitterness in the finish, but Sierra Nevada made every component better and came up with a winner.

Dec 23, 2009 Bottle->pilsner: Pours a large, creamy, white head atop a hazy and cloudy yellow body. Aroma of molasses, herbs, pine, broth, and bubble gum. The body is medium, texture alcoholic, soft carbonation and finishes bitter. The flavor’l duration is long, being lighlty sweet and acidic and moderately bitter. Another quality (and fairly priced) beer from Sierra Nevada!

Dec 23, 2009 Bottle. Banana, lemon, yeast and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy amber-yellow color with nice head. Slightly sweet banana, orange, lemon, and wheat malt. Pretty light body. One of the better US weizens but not spectacular.

Dec 20, 2009 This could very well be my favorite hefeweizen I’ve ever had. Pours a golden haze into the glass with a white head. Lots of notes of clove and banana on this one. Nice crisp flavor with bread/bakery feel to it. Finish is very refreshing. Fantastic hefe. Definitely give this one a try.

Dec 18, 2009 pours a hazy straw yellow, the banana/clove jumps out at you. smooth in the mouth but seems to have more depth than other hefes i’ve had lately. yeast character is evident but suits the style.

Dec 17, 2009 Bottle at the Rake.
A very decent waiss, bananas, fine body, but, on the other ahnd it is not a very exciting style. But the Kelelr part of it lifts the beer, some funky barnyard lifts the beer quite a bit.

Dec 17, 2009 Bottle. Hazy light yellow body, thin off-white head. Nose dominated by clove, banana, and bubble gum esters. Light, spritzy body with banana and clove and wet grass, relatively dry, yeast-dominated.

Dec 17, 2009 Pours a cloudy yellow gold with white pillowy head. Aroma is mostly cloves with a bit of banana, wheat, and grass. Taste is dry with a light tartness; flavors of bread and lemony citrus with very mild banana and clove presence. Light-medium body with a silky mouthfeel and prickly carbonation. I was expecting something more richly flavored but it’s not bad. Certainly very refreshing.
