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!

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.

Jan 4, 2008 Updated: Jan 7, 2008In short: An overly sweet simple weizen beer. Failed attempt at an Imperial Hefeweizen
How: Mtl crew pre-Xmas 2007 tasting session.
The look: Opaque dark yellow
In long: Sugary crusty lemon pie with honey poured on top of it. Very sweet to say the least. Hops are cruelly lacking. Wheat character lost in the crowd. Soft carbonation. Too simple and too sweet. Not even refreshing. I understand they wanted to make a very “big” Hefeweizen but the whole thing just doesn’t work. I guess I like my women like I like my weizens, not too heavy.

Jan 2, 2008 22 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a golden yellow color, with a minimal white head. Aromas are of barnyard straw, yeasty bread, bubblegum, some spices. Flavors are of bubblegum, some cloves, a little citrus, and plenty of malt & yeast. Some banana flavors at the end. Medium mouthfeel, plenty for a weizen. Finished slightly sweet, with a banana aftertaste. Good weizen overall.

Dec 27, 2007 Pours a slightly cloudy orange with a thick, foamy white head. Smells of big orange citrus, wheat, and yeast mostly, but leans more toward the citrus aroma as being most dominant. The flavor was big on the alcohol and citrus characters. The wheat came in mostly towards the back. Not an easy drinking wheat beer whatsoever. Pretty sweet, with weak balance in its flavors. A little disappointed with this. Trying to overdo it a little it seems.
