Aug 29, 2006 I had this on tap at E&C served w/ a lemon slice. Which obviously enchanced the citrus aroma. Hefes seem to have that golden haze goin on. This hefe was almost sweet and w/o any bitters. Medium bodied with medium carbonation.

Jun 1, 2002 Updated: Jul 17, 2009Maybe I got a really good batch on tap at the PA MicroFest, but I really liked this Hefe. Beautiful wheaty, banana aroma. Cloudy and pale. Smooth, watery palate. Banana and wheat taste, very clean with no cidery taste at all.

Aug 14, 2001 Good aroma, nice and clovey. My only complaint is that it’s too dark to be a helles hefeweizen, but too light to be a dunkel; perhaps a ’Grenzeweizen’ (boundary-wheat...)

Jun 13, 2000 A good American wheat. Slightly spicy,
with some lemon/clove hints in the aroma and
flavor - but by far the strongest flavor
component is bananas. This is the most bananaish
wheat I’ve ever had. Very interesting and good.
Its just a wee bit too sweet though, making it less
refreshing and less drinkable than some of the classic
hefeweizens. Color- dark gold, a little too dark. As it finishes,
an unfortunate aftertaste develops - perhaps because it paired
quite poorly with my steak.

Jul 18, 2002 This must be had fresh at the brewery to have the full effect. I agree that it is between a helles and a dunkel, and it leans toward an English style in hop flavor.

Jul 22, 2005 Bubblegum, banana, and clovey yeasty nose. Cloudy golden yellow body. Looks and smells like a German hefe...Tastes like one too. This is nicely carbonated, nicely balanced, wheaty and pleasantly quenching. A tad bit off...Cabbage and vegetable, faintly sour. This is quite good for an American brewery.

Jul 1, 2004 Updated: Jul 4, 2005On draft at Johnny Brendas. Another fine example of a true german style hefeweizen brewed in America. Thumbs up!
Rerated 7/1/05 - Draft at Johnny Brendas - huge banana presence, absolutely delicious

Oct 20, 2002 decent hefe.
while this has the banana/clove notes it leans towards the tangy yeasty flavours giving a nice fruity sweet and sour balance.
