Jan 14, 2007 Bottled Aug. 2006. Pours a hazy copper-orange color with a thin, light tan head which fades out quickly. Candy-like aromas of Juicy Fruit gum, caramel covered apples and ripe banana are noted with mild fresh yeast and hot dinner rolls lurking in he background. Pleasant, full, round mouthfeel with just the right amount of tingly carbonation for the style. Taste is sweet, reminiscent of banana-nut bread, caramel apple, crystal malts, fresh yeast and mild spices. Finishes with the slightest presence of hop bitterness to tame any cloyishness. 8.7% ABV is non-detectable; very smooth and stealth. A well done domestic reproduction of the style.

Dec 29, 2006 On tap in Carroll Gardens (Brooklyn) NY. I loved this beer! Loved the smoothness and finish, along with the hints of banana. No idea it was 8.7% until I read about it here. Very drinkable, wish I could find it in more places.

Dec 25, 2006 Very enjoyable weizen here. Yet another finely crafted and authentic German-style offering from Victory. Their "continental" beers are outshining their more "American" offerings these days...

Dec 23, 2006 12 oz bottle from Shadey. Smell is bananas and some spice. Pour is a dark amber/brown. Nice amount of carbonation. Taste is not overly complex, but pretty true to form. Im surprised by the alcohol content here, because this is actually pretty drinkable. nice beer.

Dec 19, 2006 Updated: Dec 21, 200612 oz. bottle: Initial aroma of berries, bananas and yeastiness. Poured a dark amber color with minimal head. Tasted somewhat like bananas and spices. Very malty. As the beer warmed up, the aroma swayed toward the yeastiness, smelling like musty bread. Smooth palate with lower than average carbonation. Finished moderately with spices and yeast. The alcohol is very well hidden in this relatively strong brew. This beer changed quite a bit as it warmed up and I think I preferred it slightly colder. I personally liked the initial aroma much better and this could have done with more head. Otherwise, a very solid offering from Victory.

Dec 17, 2006 On tap @ Coles. Buffalo, NY. Not a big fan of bananas so this rating may come in low. Very distinctive tastes & drinkable. Probably would have been better off not reading the discription on Victory.com before actually trying the beer
