| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 24, 2008 Bright yellow body with a tiny white head. Sweet fruity nose with apricot, banana and floral/citrus hops. Fairly sweet, lightly bitter taste with herbal hops, banana, clove and flowers. Medium/full body is a bit rough with moderate carbonation. Rastacouere (5563), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Cloudy light honey coloured. Fading white head receding to a ring. A this is a wheat beer? Banana puree in liquid form, rather bold, thick. Quite simple really, very bready, almost no phenols. Greasy, thick and certainly not refreshing. Tight, light-bubbled carbonation does not quite manage to give a dryness impression. Really, a sweet and thick weizen, I’m completely missing the point. hoppopotamus (187), Santa Cruz, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 12, 2008 A straw-golden hazy beer with an off-white head that doesn’t last too long. The aroma is sweet with some hop spiciness and a little fruitiness. The flavor is sweet, and starts with hop bitterness, finishing, oddly, with maltier notes. You can’t really taste the alcohol, which is nice. Haven’t had any heavy hefeweizen before, and I think this is a success! Odeed (1677), Bakersfield, California, USA

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jan 26, 2008 Bomber shared by Odeed; nose of banana, caramel, cloves, and general spiciness; hazy gold with a medium off-white head; flavor of banana, nutmeg, cloves, and minor hop bitterness; juicy thick body with touches of banana, hops and very light alcohol for a finish! I loved this beer; looks like I am in the minority! wetherel (1641), Encinitas, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jan 19, 2008 Bottle from Beertruth on beeradvocate. I love Hefeweizens, mostly because of their high drinkability. I also love high gravity beers. So I tried to brew a strong hefeweizen. I used 50% wheat and 50% barley malt and an american hefe yeast. I am curious how other strong wheat beers are.
Pours cloudy yellow-orange. Very little head (as always, possibly because my refrigerator is cold). Tons of banana and some clove. Spicy flavor. Drinkability is no where near as good as a nice regular Hefe. Heavy body. I think it has lots of DMS, or something not very palatable. Leans sweet, but not in a good way. ogglethorp (890), Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a decent sized white head. Aroma is banana, fruity, spice. Flavor is banana, citrus, clove, light malt. Palate is medium bodied, medium carboantion, finishes sweet and a little sticky. Fairly decent.
