Bomber from Whole Foods Market Darien. Pours a hazy lemon color with a thin frothy off-white head. Fair head retention. Oh my... there’s some banana. Aroma of bananas foster... banana and caramel, along with pineapple and other fruits, toasted notes and faint spice. The taste is banana, caramel, stone fruits, spice. Medium bodied. A little bit too estery.

22oz bottle-shared @Small Tasting at my place-pours yellow with a retaining tight white head. Aroma is peach/pear, whea/light malt, slight spice. As it warms, some clove. Taste is clove-spice, wheat/light malt. Ok effervescence.

Bottle. Pours gold. White head. Nose/taste of pear, banana, clove and wheat. Slightly medicinal herbal finish. Medium body.

22 oz. bottle,Not the best Hefe I have ever had but not bad. Very middle of the road. Banana and nutty taste, poors lightly cloudy, slight head. Color is a hazy light yellow. The after taste for me is VERY banana. Not sure if I would buy again.

A clear golden weizen with a thin white head. A light bananas and strawberries in aroma, a bit cloying. In mouth, a rather chalky weizen, with light bananas, light and boring. On tap at Flat Street Pub, Brattleboro, August 2 2009.

Pours clear gold into a Weizen. Bright white head recedes to skim surface. Bubblegum and banana aromas. Orange citrus upfront with lasting banana wheat finish.

2006 bomber drunk in August ’06, fresh.
This came out right around when Long Trail put out their hefeweizen and I remember enjoying the Long Trail significantly more. Not sure why I didn’t rate this one.
Very light golden, with not as much haziness as you would expect. Some tints of bronze and a small, creamy white head that slowly recedes to cover, but does not provide much lacing.
Very spicy-phenolic aroma to start with. Dry white pepper, toasted/roasted clove notes and a strong herbal hoppiness. Never gains much sweetness, certainly no rich honey-like pils malt sweetness. Nutty, fresh yeast and creamy, dry wheat make for a very mellow finish. Like the Long Trail, a very light, fluffy version, with apparent wateriness in the mouthfeel, but definitely intended. Still, the light herbal hop notes and even a bit of citric bitterness give it moderate crispness at points. Maybe just a little too dry, nutty and wheat-like for me, however. The Long Trail hefe had much more fruitiness and the citrus and herbal notes were integrated in to the sweet malts, giving a more complex flavor profile. I’m pretty sure we’ll see this one again this summer. I’ll revisit then and tighten up this rating.
