thenick (611), North Bellmore, New York, USA Jul 14, 2008 Tap @ SPH. Pours that unmistakable cloudy golden-orange with a surprisingly small white head. Aroma is banana, clove, and slight vanilla characteristics as well. Flavor is spicy up front with noticeable cloves and a nice sweet finish with heavy notes of banana. Beer again remains smooth throughout, and while it did not exactly match the classic hefeweizen, it was more than worth the price of admission. LilBeerDoctor (733), East Setauket, New York, USA Jun 28, 2008 On tap at SPH. Pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of spices and clove. Flavor is spices upfront with a nice fruity (banana) finish. Full-bodied palate. However, after a pint of this, the spices started to annoy me. Ok hefe though. fredandboboflo (717), East Setauket, New York, USA Jun 26, 2008 On tap at the Publick House. Cloudy, cloudy, cloudy. Aroma of banana, reddish fruits, wheat, spices in the background. Flavor more of the same, maybe gets a bit tiring by the end. Full, creamy body. While a bit different from an authentic German Hefeweizen, a much more interesting attempt than I’ve come to expect from an American brewer. Sort of like wheat candy. Rciesla (1136), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Jun 10, 2008 Draft at SHPH. Pours a cloudy yellow hazy body with a creamy fluffy white head. Aroma is mmm banana sweet malt and some wheat. Flavors are sweet wheat and banana. yup said the same thing twice. mkobes (2045), paramus, New Jersey, USA Jun 26, 2007 On tap at Hop Devil Grill. Hazy golden in color with a nice fluffy off white head. Spicy fruity aroma. Banana clove notes. Malty fruity flavor. Banana citrusy flavor. Smooth. Well balanced. Finish is spicy. Very nice beer.
