Tap at the brewery in Norfolk Virginia. A hazed golden brushed gold coloured pour with a halo of white head. Aroma is flabby wheat, grassy, clove, grass, banana bread. Flavour is composed of semi sweet z bamama bread, clove, loose wheat, grass. Light tang. Palate is semi sweet, flabby, lihjt tang, moderate carbonation. Ok.

Very crisp golden peach, orange and even sort of ruby-tinted body with a nice two centimetre tall tan head that is large-bubbled. Aroma of grass, light wheat, a hint of bubble gum, yeast, bread and a dash of flowers - nice and light. Light-bodied; Very fresh wheat shows at first with a pleasant bubble gum and soft curacao bite that leaves some pleasant sweetness on top of the somewhat assertive yeast bite at the end, but still very easy-drinking throughout, with a light astringency at the very end. Aftertaste is crisp, yet refreshing, with a lot of wheat, yeast, flowers and especially bubble gum notes that make this a good option in the summer heat. Overall, a nice wheat beer with a slight unfiltered glow, but tastes more of a wheat ale than any hefeweizen, but good, refreshing, yet complex and enjoyable throughout. Nice to try from this brewery, especially in the hot Virginia summers here! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 14-July-2020 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington on 20-August-2020.

Can: Hazy, bubbly, yellow with a thick off-white head. Taste is pretty wheaty.....lemon, wheat malt, banana, clove. Fairly well-bodied and not bad in taste....at first....but I agree with Shrubber85.....a bit of black plastic Hefty bag nuances at the finish.

Can. Orange, banana, clove, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Slightly hazy golden yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet orange, banana, clove, wheat malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Okay body. Plastic aftertaste. Would have been good if not for plastic.

Can: Banana, lemon, and clove nose, evident but not strong. Clear amber, thin head. Lemon and wheat flavor, mild peppery coriander finish. Medium body, easy carbonation. A good attempt at the style from an American brewer.

Hazy golden, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is a but of wheat, banana, crackers, clove. Flavor is similar, light sweet, a bit of lemon tartness, minimal bitterness. Interesting flavor a bit unlike other hefes. Bubblegum for sure. Medium body, silky mouthfeel
