Jul 24, 2006 Enjoyable, but maybe a little off for a hef. Pours any orange-y color, which seemed a little odd to me. Nice aroma, some clove and sweetness. Malty start, Cirtusy middle, with a soft finish. Like to cook with this one.

Jul 15, 2006 Bottle - aroma was somewhat subdued. Some of the clove and a bit a banana mixed with the malt. Color was a bit lighter than the orange in the description, but nice nonetheless. A small ring of white foam atop. Very tart flavor. No where near what I think of when I think of a hefe, but I like it anyway. Quite refreshing!

Jul 14, 2006 Pours a hazy light amber color with a smallish and very white head. Clove, banana, and some citrus in the nose. Flavor was a little subdued. I have had this beer before but just never rated it and I remember it being much more tart and lively than this one was. Still, decent clove and yeast flavor to it. A pretty standard hefe in my books.

Jun 23, 2006 Clove, banana bread, yeast, vanilla, and orange peel. Banana, yeast, clove, and lemon in the flavor with some lemon freshness. A very decent beer, but nothing to be amazed about. Probably better on tap I would imagine.

Jun 6, 2006 Nice orange color, not alot of haze. Mild citrus sourness and fresh fruit is prominent with a banana bread sweetness also at the forefront. Clove complements the background without becoming cloying, as it should. Easy on the palate and refreshing.

May 10, 2006 Spicy, wheaty aroma that is fairly full-nosed for a wheat beer. The body is ever-so-slightly cloudy yellow with no head. Much citrus flavor and also sourish. Wheat abound in the flavor and leads to a breadiness in the finish. It finishes slightly sweet with hints of herbs, heather and honey.

May 1, 2006 Bottle purchased from Julio’s. Best by 12/6/05. Whoops, I guess I am having this about 3-4 months later than they recommend. Please take that into consideration with this rating. Fruity, lactic yeasty nose with some floral notes and yeastiness. Somewhat grassy nose with some boiled cabbage aromas. Not the most pleasant. Moderately hazy yellow golden color with a quickly dissipating whitish head. A bit sour to start with some acetic notes and perhaps some Brett as well. Middle has biscuits and cereal. Corn silage flavors are also present. I don’t know if this was storage, or due to the 2 inches of air in the bottle, but this beer just tastes off.
