Apr 14, 2009 A nice brew if you like wheats, but I’m not a really big fan of this one. A little too much citrus bite for me in this one. Decent brew, but wouldn’t be my first choice from Troegs.

Apr 13, 2009 Smooth almost too smooth for a wheat beer. Lots of orange spice in the nose and on the palate. Light bodied but exactly what you want and expect from this style of beer. Finish leaves a bit of orange zest in your mouth. Nice beer if you can get it in your area I say go for it.

Apr 12, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Hazy pale yellow, average bright white frothy head. Banana, citrus zest, sweet malt, spice - your typical hefe aroma, nothing missing here. Quite a bit of lemon and pungent grassy bitterness to this one, defintely get the clove, nice bitterness in the finish, not too sweet like some. Light-ish body, a little astringent from all that spiciness, nice dry peppery linger - very nice, in cans would be an ideal golf beer.

Apr 10, 2009
Source: 12 oz bottle purchased in Washington DC.
Appearance: Cloudy yellow pour, sparse, one finger white head.
Aroma: Clove, faint banana and wheat, with a hint of citrus.
Flavor: Clove dominates, but yeast and citrus are present.
Palate: Light body and watery mouthfeel. A slightly fuller body would have been better.
Overall: Summery beer with some of the right aspects of a very good Hefe. Lacks only body and a bit more banana in the flavor to be very good.

Mar 30, 2009 Bottle: Pours a lovey cloudy yellow. Could have a bit more of a head to get it tto a 5 appearance. Nose is weak. Mouth is smooth and ends with tip of tounge saaz tang which is nice but I was expecting some spiceyness, but instead find a light butteryness in place of it. I could not find any spice whatsoever. This went down even and smooth (I had three) so it is far from undrinkable. It may just be kegworthy this summer. but at the moment, it seems a bit weak.

Mar 20, 2009 Hazy gold with white frothy head. Aroma of bananas and cloves and some sweet malt. Flavor is smooth, and lightly spiced. This is one of the better US renditions of a German Hefeweizen.
