500 ml bottle - pours a completely opaque swampy brown with some lightness at the edges with a dense cream-coloured head that lasts for quite awhile. Aroma big on banana, some milk chocolate, yeast phenolics, a splash of alcohol. Flavour not as good as the aroma, simple: Mainly caramalt, wheat, yeast. Body thick at first, then thins out quickly in the finish. Quite a nice beer.

Dec 4, 2009 500 mL Bottle. Deep murky ruby body with a long lasting frothy off-white head that leave good lace. Aroma of toasted grains, prunes, raisins, other dark fruit, cloves and spices, tangerine peel, fresh vegetables, and autumn leaves. Full body of wheat and grains make up the flavor; prunes, raisins, tangerine peel, and cloves express in the aftertaste and finish. Very smooth in the mouth. Wheat beer lovers: this way please!

Dec 1, 2009 On tap at Lunar BrewingCo. and although normally served in a Weizen glass, requested a smaller amount in a Czech-pils glass. Poured a cloudy, amber/brown with modest, off white foam to the head, and some curtainy lacing. The aroma had a tomato juice/V-8 scent to it. Although a touch of the nose carried over, the flavor was closer to style with some graininess, light notes of ripe banana cream, and stronger spice/clove notes. Just a hint of sweetness was evident. The carbonation was good and the body was medium. Not bad except for the unpleasant beginning. Will have to try again down the road.

Dark wheat with sweet malts and overripe banana in flavour, added by a spicy touch of cloves. Bitter fruits and notes of yeast to the ending. Quite flavoursome (Berlin 22.11.2009).
