Mar 30, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy pale dull gold with a thin white head that disappeared into a thin ring before my first sip. Pleasant aroma of bananas and lemon. The flavor is malt with some yeast, bananas, and just a bit of brown sugar. The malt is stronger than one would expect in a hefe, and I have to say I like it here. Medium bodied with a somewhat slick mouthfeel. No trace of the 8% abv.

Mar 24, 2008 22 oz bottle, via trade. Pours a slightly hazy straw yellow body with a small fizzy white head that faded to a wispy film quickly. Heavy bready wheat dominates the nose with lighter accents of honey, floral hops, fruity esters, and some candy sweetness. The flavor is exactly what I expected, the malt has taken over much of the fruity clove and banana character that I want from a Hefe. There’s really very little of it, and it’s mostly late in the finish when the alcohol subsides. An OK beer, but this is not what I’d consider a German Hefeweizen. The mouthfeel is thick and slightly syrupy with moderate fizzy carbonation that keeps if from being too sticky. Noticable alcohol warmth on the finish. Overall, this was decent, but not what I’m looking for from a Hefe. Perhaps this should be under either the ASA or Wheat Ale category.

Mar 23, 2008 Froma a bottle. Pours a golden color with small head that disappears quickly. Aromas of banana, grassy hops and bublble gum like notes. Flavor is more of the same banana, yeast, spice, wheat and some alcohol peaking through in the finish. Not one of my favorites from ST.

Mar 17, 2008 Updated: Mar 20, 2008Loved this beer. Great pour of golden cloudiness, small head, but still a good looking beer. The aroma has hints of banana, which is present in its flavor and more so in the after taste. Overall awesome beer, i will be drinking much more of this one.

Fresh cut grassy hops. Light banana puree. Cinnamon bread and alcohol. Medium to full bodied. Creamy, lush with moderate fizzy carbonation. Nice hefe for sure.

Mar 8, 2008 22 oz bomber from EZ Liquors. Pours a very hazy brwonish orange, big suprise there, with a large frothy slightly off white head that leaves some nice lacing. Aroma of ripe banana, cloves, wheat, slight pepper, tropical fuirt and banana bread. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a creamy finish. Flavor of fermented wheat, over ripe banana, brown bread, slight hops. Nice beer, not as nice as my wife though who thought it was okay to touch the reomote in the middle of South Park, she won’t make that mistake twice........boy did I whine and complain.

Feb 26, 2008 22 oz. bottle via trade with GMCC2181 - Pours a very slightly hazy straw color with a thin white head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is yeast, light esters, grain malt, and a touch of spice. Flavor is basicly the same. Medium body. A very nice beer. Thanks Gabe.
