12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy murky yellow with a large rocky white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is lemon and some spicy yeast with a little floral soapiness.
The flavor is sweet lemon balanced by some earthy yeast with a touch of banana and some grassy bitterness at the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and a little watery.
Overall, wheats are not my favorite style, but I like this one. It’s labeled a hefe but I get very little banana (which is good for me) and not a lot of spice - more of a Belgian wit to me. It’s very pleasant and easy drinking.

Dec 2, 2009 12oz. Aroma is full of wheat (both malted and unmalted) and a little banana. When drunk there’s a slight acid sourness and just noticable hop bite to balance the round wheat/grain/earth flavor. Less bubbly then I was expecting but delicious. Yay beer!

Nov 29, 2009 A very good Hefe. Pours a cloudy golden color and the aroma is classic German wheat: clove and yeast. The flavor is very tasty, banana, clove and yeast. Surprisingly, this is a great wheat even comparable to the German Hefe’s. A surprise from a mediocre brewery.

Nov 28, 2009 Overall good hefeweizen. Very drinkable with a slightly pungent mouth feel. Could detect hints of banana, cereal, nuts, and resin.

Nov 27, 2009 Bottle. Hazy yellow with a big frothy white head. Aroma of banana, flowers, citrus and clove. The flavour is banana, sweet malt and clove. Didnt bring much to this style but a fair brew.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottle ( 12oz ). Slightly hazy yellow-gold with a fairly large fluffy white lasting head. Nice light balanced aroma - grassy and fruity. The taste follows, ever so slightly tart; a hint of earthiness to the floral/grassy bitterness, fruit sweetness is peach, pear and very light banana. Light and soft body, decently carbonated, quick finishing and just a bit of sweet fruity linger. I liked it.

Nov 22, 2009 Have had trouble finding this beer, but I am now very pleased I did.
Bottle pour is cloudy yellow, with a foamy head that stayed thru most of the consumption. Mild carbonation is very well set for a brew such as this one. Aromas of lemon, citrus, slight sweet clove. Taste was very impressive, smooth, a little heavy in feel, notes of not-quite-ripe bananna, lemon, mild hops, and very good malts. I don’t know if I would call the flavors complex, but they all compliment each other very nicely. I do believe the open fermentation process attributes are noticeable in this brew. A very impressive, well balanced hefeweizen from a reliable brewery.

Nov 20, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a hazy deep golden color with a thick soapy off white head, that settles into a ring. Aroma is full of spice, yeast, banana and light citrus. Nice spice flavor up front with hints of banana and just a bit of malt. Very mild citrus bitterness at the finish. Mouthfeel is light and crisp with soft fizzy carbonation. A very nicely done beer.
