We've come up with the perfect way to enjoy a bright sparkling taste of summer, no matter what the season may be. This hefeweizen carries a distinct banana ester profile, and crisp finish. No bananas were harmed or peeled in the brewing of this beer. It's just a little side benefit that our German yeast strain gives us.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy yellow gold with medium creamy white head that lasts. The aroma is wheat, clove, banana. Medium body, citrus, yeast, clove, dry finish, very good.

Tap @ Bocktown through a banana chips and nutmeg randall. Color is glowing, hazy straw, cannot see through it. Aroma is lightly sticky sweet and sugary. There is a little bit of nutmeg, maybe, just a smidgen. But lots of sweet, light banana esters. Taste is less sharp on the sweet but pretty similar. I feel there is that banana chip character outside the beer but maybe I was imagining it.
