On tap at the Brewpub in Chicago in March 2008. Hazy yellow with a small white head. Citrus, yeast and banana in the aroma and flavor. Soft carbonation. Quite smooth and drinkable.

(10/9/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in Chicago. Cloudy yellow. Aroma is fruity, with some banana, light spiciness and bubblegum notes. Sweetish wheaty flavor with a bit of yeast, some spiciness and light, slightly unpleasant, sourness. Rather light-bodied.

Cloudy blond color. Spicy aroma. Thin body, but quite good flavor, simple, with nice banana.

Draft, downtown Chicago. The style of wheat at this Rock Bottom varies seasonally. When I tried it, they were just finishing the Hefeweizen style. Very banana-y with a smack of clove flavor. If I were more of a hefeweizen lover, I might find more subtlety, but this is pretty much "to style" and little else.
