20080704 12oz bottle Cloudy, plae golden color with creamy, sturdy white head and sheeting lace. Aroma is spicy, full of typical German hefe banana, clove, and some nuttiness to the grain. Medium palate, a bit prickly eff, and gumdrop clove astringency at the finish. Nicely done hefe that could rival most of the big German imports. Refreshingly fresh. Great label.

Oct 4, 2008 Cloudy darkish yellow. A little bit of banana and a little bit of smelly foot. Wheaty and tart, with light banana and some musty yeast. Fairly simple, unexciting version.

Oct 3, 2008 Bottle. Deep golden. Lots of particulates. Hazed. Not much head. Sweet, yeasty aromas seem immature, unrefined. Like banana baby food. Fizzy mouthfeel. Candy-like with banana, pineapple, and white grape juice. Was expecting better.

Sep 30, 2008 Poured a cloudy yellow color with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma was nice and spicey, banana and cloves mainly with some yeasty wheaty undertones. Flaovr was really spicy, but not overwhelming almost tasted more like a blegian white than a german hefe. Either way, very good for the gneeral wheat style.

Sep 27, 2008 12oz - Aroma is not very nice. Cardboard, sweaty sock, lemon and wet grass. ours flat transparent yellow with decent lacing. Flavor is sweet yeast, banana, wet grass, lemon and over ripened fruit. Palate is creamy and tart. Overall a disaster of a hefe.

Sep 20, 2008 Big ole glass of banana juice. There is a little clove in the mouth, but a run of the mill American wheat beer.
