chicagodri (1021), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours cloudy blonde with a thick white head. Aroma of fruit, some citrus, and wheat. Flavor has excellent wheat tones, interesting for a 8% beer. Some clove, a little sweet and a little boozy. Worth a try though. JoeTheYounger (216), California, USA Oct 25, 2009 Trade bottle from GMCC2181. Aroma was fruity with some banana, clove, spices, wheat. Hazy golden color with nice head. Taste was spicey, wheaty, some cloves and caramel. Nice carbonation. Very good hef. Pookie9121 (81), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Oct 25, 2009 22 oz Bottle. Pours a nice cloudy orange. Smells of wheat and some banana flavoring. Flavor is excellent including some wheat. The first taste was a little strong of alcohol but it decreased with each sip. Great beer. Highly recommended. bierkoning (5980), La Tropica, Netherlands Oct 25, 2009 Bottle. Blonde with an orange haze. Wheat, banana, tangerine and pineapple in the aroma. Wheaty, slightly alcoholic sweetish flavor, slightly grassy with clove, banana, tangerine and mango. Pretty straightforward alcoholic weizen. Dedollewaitor (3622), Odense, Denmark Oct 19, 2009 Bottle @ HjHansen, Odense. Pours cloudy golden with a thick white head and lacings. Nose is heavy banana and wheat. Very sweet overall. Medium and smooth palate. A heavy wheat bomb for sure. ChristianScheffel (4402), Odense, Denmark Oct 17, 2009 Cloudy golden with a lasting white head. Somewhat weak banana aroma, with a little straw and a hint of plastic-y phenols. Sweet fruity flavour, somewhat sticky with some warm alcohol. Ceebs25 (217), Naperville, Illinois, USA Oct 5, 2009 On tap at the Bavarian Lodge. Overall I would describe this a full flavored American wheat ale that stays quite true to the German hefeweizen style. Banana bread, cloves, other mild fruity notes, and spice on the aroma. A big thick white head, a well clouded body, and gold orange color on the appearance. Also, well balanced in general, with full flavors that are not over the top at all for this being a strong wheat. The flavor profile is pretty standard, but this is definitely in a good way as everything is well put together. Sweet yeasty bread malts, spices, and a mild fruitiness on the flavor notes. Really this is just quite good. I was very impressed. j12601 (1144), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA Sep 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a large off white head. Banana and clove on the nose, wheat fruit, and a hint of grain. Medium body, nice wheat and banana flavors. Finishes with more banana and yeast and a little clove again. I’d never guess this was 8% if I had it blind.
