Dec 31, 2007 Pleasantly surprised with this. Everything was true to hefe character. Quite a bit of banana. Some yeasty spice. Nice pizazzy mouthfeel.

Dec 20, 2007 Bottle from Jungle Jim’s. Poured hazy yellow color with an average fizzy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate clove and banana and citrus aroma. Medium body with lively carbonation. Medium sweet citrus flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Drinkable smooth brew.

Dec 5, 2007 I wish I knew yeast better, cause this beer has that nasty ’bubblegum/citrus’ nose...it is almost overwelming.
Not a good hefe, and very disapointing for Sprechers.
I don’t like my Hefe tasting like banannas and cloves. Someone else’s observation that this beer tastes remarkably Belgian

Nov 4, 2007 Had this beer on 12/18/1999. Aroma light with the classic scent of a Hefe. Color is a light hazy gold with good carbonation and a rich tight head. Taste is smooth and lightly sweet. Starting with a medium body that goes down easy with a lightly crisp feel. Finish is sweet with a very slight banana taste and a nice hop citrus flavor. This is topped off with a faint cider flavor that reminds me of a home brew. It comes close to a true Hefe with a nice light refreshing twist.

Oct 16, 2007 On tap. A hazy light orange-gold with a good sized white head. Aroma is faint, banana and cloves. Flavor is subdued as well, not a lot going on. A lot if wheat comes through in the finish. Easy drinking.

Oct 12, 2007 16 oz bottle. Poured a cloudy yellow color. Head was white with decent retention. Aroma was of yeasty bread dough with banana, caramel, and bubblegum. Delicately sweet on the tongue with bubblegum, malty cereal grain, banana, and yeasty bread dough flavors. Not a bad hefe, but not as much banana or clove as I had expected.
