Reviewed from notes.
Can to weizen glass.
Appearance: deep copper color with cloudiness and a one finger white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate then once it did, some light sliding lace happened.
Aroma: sweet wheat, some bananas, actual cloves, sweet lemon and some grassy hops.
Flavor: seems to take those prior aromas and keeps them separated in their qualities in the flavor; hard to manage much of a finish but that seems somewhat wheaty, lemony and actual bananas
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, some smoothness but no wheaty kick anywhere
Overall: it almost seems like the bananas and cloves in this were added as additions and didn't come off as esters from a weizen yeast. If that's what happened, shame on you, Raquette River if not then not sure what happened here but I'd give this a try again if I found a better batch.
