12oz bottle. Thin orange-yellow color with a respectable, creamy white head. Wheat and candy banana in the aroma. Light to medium bodied, quite refreshing. Perfect minimal hop balance complements the banana yeast tones. Smooth creamy body. An excellent beer.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Clear pale yellow, small head. Aroma of puffed wheat and glue. Mid-sweet with light-medium body, clean hrd mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Pointless and with poor drinkability.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange color, small white head. Aroma is malt, lemon, banana, yeast. Flavor is a touch of spices, a touch of citrus, and malts. It was a bit sweeter than I had imagined, but it wasn’t bad.

Pours clear slightly dull gold with thin white head. It has a nice aroma of wheat, some grains, honey, floral hops and a bit of spice hops. The taste begins sweet with malt and wheat and a sense of honey before notes of spicy hops and yeast as well as a touch of acidity even things out. It gets the addition of banana around midway ramping the sweetness up a bit. Into the finish a note of graininess joins in to help the banana and wheat notes take this to closure.

Babyfood clove aroma with some chlorophenols. Hazy golden, somewhat witbierish, with a medium snow white head. Lemony wheat flavor with a certain je ne sais quoi. Clean finish. Very refreshing, but unpleasantly phenolic.

Looks beautiful! Hazy, bright, medium yellow body with a whipped egg white head. Spicy citrus yeasty aroma. Slightly sweet, light banana flavor. Good body. I’d drink this one all summer, I hope they keep it on the shelves.
