Jul 19, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden/orange hue, almost no head. Aroma is banana, yeast, cloves, and alcohol. The beer’s flavor is much like any hefeweizen, but with a discernible alcohol flavor. Overall it isn’t a bad beverage, but it goes against my own personal choice of a hefeweizen being a beer I drink to refresh my palate on a hot day.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle; pours a nice cloudy gold/orange color; not much head. Gets much darker near the top of the weizen glass. Aroma is really good with wheat, banana, clove and yeast. Alcohol noticable at first, faded a bit throughout. Predominant flavors of banana/yeast, sugar with a moderate amount of sweetness. Some nice spice and light hopping in the finish. Good palate; really enjoyed this one.

Jul 19, 2008 Draft at the Southern Tier Brewpub (The Empty Pint). Pours a cloudy, almost opaque orangey gold with a creamy slightly off-white head. Aroma is huge banana, bit of clove, yeast. Taste is clean, almost candy-and-wheat sweetness up front, banana, with a big spicy yeast presence, leading to bitter clove on the finish, with noticeable alcohol. Mouthfeel is a bit syrupy, heavy bodied. Much closer to a weizenbock in body then a Bavarian Hefe as noted by someone else.

Jul 18, 2008 22 ounce bottle. I noticed the yeast collected at the bottom of the bottle, so I rolled it a bit to get it going. Poured a hazy straw yellow with a little bit of white head. The aroma comes off as mashed brown bananas. It smell like baby food, or at least like bananas that you’d mash up to feed to a baby. Maybe its that grainy cereal that you’d feed a baby, with bananas in it. The flavor has that same banana character, but the flavor is more enjoyable that the aroma. Hell, even a bit of clove manages to slide by. Medium body, and not quite enough carbonation. Sweet finish. Lingers a bit. Just an okay beer.

Jul 16, 2008 bottle. No lemon. Poured into tall weiss glass. Cloudy yellowish amber, inch or so of off white head. Aromas of banana and wheat grain, some sharp yeasty sweetness. Flavors of light malt sweetness and oranges, heavy booze notes and some sharp spicy flavors on the back end. Flavors don’t balance too well. Palate is decent, with some lingering slickness.

Jul 16, 2008 Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a perfect thick creamy off-white froth on top. Very sweet and rich banana aroma, like a banana custard. Flavor is very traditional and similar to Piece Top-Heavy Hefe. I agree that it is similar to a Weizen-bock, but despite the strength it really keeps that Hefe flavor. Flavor is sweet and rich bananas and strong clove followed by strong orange peel and alcohol bitterness. Quite a bit of yeast in the flavor and finish as well... leave some chalky vitamin-C like flavor in the mouth. Some serious yum!
