am in a phase of my beer adventures where I don’t buy the same beer twice when I go to the beer store... I have bought a six pack of this beer 4 times already. This is the beer that should restore our faith that american brewers can make hefe’s. This was stunning.... Smells of clove and banana. Pours a very cloudy dark yellow with a fantastic white head. Simply the best medium body and carbonation of any session summer ale I have had. Crisp and clean on every sip or guzzle. Flavor was mild and sweet with spice and banana. Quite Herby and spice and delicious.. I hope this is a year round product from SN

Dec 31, 2009 From the 12 fl. oz. bottle no. 92221-2002. It pours a milky orange-yellow with a fizzy yet creamy off-white head. The aroma emits clove, wheat, and a something like cough syrup. Despite that odd sounding combination it is really quite enticing. The body is about medium with a smooth texture. The taste is a pleasant clove-filled delight with wheat and a little dryness at the end.

Dec 31, 2009 Pours a pale yellow with a touch of slightly puffy white head. Aroma has the standard banana and clove notes, but it’s a bit weak. Flavor is similar, although there is a more noticeable sweet spice. Its life on the tongue was shorter lived than I’d expect. I found this dull. Not really my thing.

Dec 31, 2009 Pours cloudy a pale amber with a small head that quickly fades to nothing.
Nose shows mostly bready wheat and cloves, with some ripe banana, almost confectionery-like, later.
Flavours are mostly the same but quite weak, almost watery, with hardly any finish. A weak and boring bitterness becomes apparent later, but makes the beer no more interesting.
Could do with more carbonation.
Overall, quite ho-hum, nothing special.

Dec 29, 2009 Pours hazy orange with a lovely snow white head, looks an absolute treat, though probably darker than the norm for style. Nose is very soapy & bubblegummy. Palate has lively carb but a bit of stickiness still. Finishes with a touch of clove. Definately a good beer & would probably be great fresh, though seems to lack yeast complexity of the real deal. Similar to brewboys hefe which is a good thing, as far as new world hefes go.

Dec 28, 2009 Being a big fan of Hefe’s I like this brew. Good sample of the type. Not the best, but for an American version at a good price it is a winner. I love the way Hefeweizens smell and this one is very aromatic. Long in the mouth; the taste has a good hang time.

Dec 27, 2009 Cloudy, golden color. Fruity taste, but little hops. Good American version of a German classic.
