Poured clearer than I expected. Small head. Wheat taste with a little finishing hops. Some slight banana.

Dark gold orange body with a thin white head. The aroma has some light bananas with hints of the clove. There was also an earthy herbal character with some sage. The taste was banana with some cloves. There was also a dry finish with some apple core and black pepper spice. The body is highly carbonated.

bottle - The bottle says "hefe weizen" in small print on the front of the label, so at least in the brewer’s opinion there’s no confusion about the style. I can see why there is some confusion here though. It seemed like a cross of hefe and dunkel weizens to me. The beer pours unusually dark for the style with a very thin head. It has a yeasty, malt aroma. The sweet flavor has plenty of yeast, wheat, and some caramel notes. There’s a touch of fruit though it struck me more like a Dunkel in that respect rather than the citrus typical of a Hefe. It’s an interesting take on the style. I see the ratebeer description says hefe’s can even be dark brown. I’m just not use to seeing it.

Pours dark golden and hazy with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma of big banana, creamy yeast, and grainy notes with a teeny bit of clove. Taste is lightly sweet, with notes of grainy wheat, crisp bread, banana, and a strange dullness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and creamy with spritzy carbonation.
