Jan 16, 2009 Bottle on 10/18/2008. Cloudy orange body with a medium frothy white head. Sweet clove aroma with light banana notes. Very sweet sugar and clove flavor, more banana, a bit of spice, and a bit of caramel in the background. Medium body with moderately high carbonation and a warming finish.

Jan 15, 2009 Bottle thanks to RCL (and I think ilovedarkbeer also picked one up for me). Pours with a very large, creamy, tinged off-white head that leaves strong lacing and retention. Murky, vibrant yellow hued body. Aroma is easily saaz hops, with a slightly spicy (both hops and yeast) note and a touch of lemon citrus with banana, clove and alcohol. Taste is bitter and hoppy with creamy banana and vanilla in the finish with wheat notes. Imperial in a similar way to NG’s Unplugged Weizen. This seems less in your face citrus hop though. A bit too fizzy for me with a straight forward alcohol tone that is not the best characteristic for a hefe or light/fruity estered wheat ale.

Jan 9, 2009 Bottle: Poured a medium orange color weizen with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consist of medium sweet wheat malt with some notes of cloves and banana ester. Taste is a mix between some dominating wheat malt with distinctive notes of cloves. Full body with limited filtration and great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very heavy but very well balance at the same time and easily drinkable. Well done!

Dec 13, 2008 Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy yellow-golden color with a large fluffy white head. The aroma was sweet citrus, clove and yeastiness. The flavor was robust yeasty and malty with notes of citrus, clove, sugar and a touch of bubblegum. The finish was long, sweet and yeasty. The body was thick and full.

Nov 20, 2008 Updated: Mar 9, 2009Bottle thanks to lukin013. Big yeasty nose, prunes, wheat bran, bananas. Pours a slightly hazy gold with an enormous white head. My wheat glass would be too small at twice the size. Sipping through the head is pleasantly yeasty, but the beer itself is mostly alcohol and caramelized malt. There’s some spice, too, but the hefe and the imperial aren’t working together here. Thick bodied, not particularly refreshing or drinkable.

Nov 17, 2008 (Tap) Pours a very cloudy golden color with tons of foamy white head. Initial aroma of heavy yeast, banana and spices. Taste is quite spicy, with clove and nutmeg notes. Bubble gum and hearty wheat malts dominate the finish. Creamy, and slightly syrupy mouthfeel. Lively carbonation. Although this beer is pretty thick in consistency, I still can note the alcohol kick in the finish. Quite enjoyable!
