Here is our "Wheat Beer with Yeast." Beers brewed with a high proportion of wheat yield a crisp and refreshing flavor profile, while the addition of our special yeast adds a blend of complex citrus and spice flavors...forget the lemon wedge, this Hef' has plenty of flavor!

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very cloudy yellow-gold color with numerous floaters and a huge white head. The aroma was fairly strong bubblegum and clove with a bit of pepper and a hint of citrus. The flavor was dry, tart and bitter with a musty cardboard undertone and touches of pepper and chamomile. The finish was long and dry with must chamomile. Decent.

Very nice obtuse banana aroma mixed with vanilla. Pour is clear till you get to the bottom then the gunk swirls in nicely. Good initial flavor impact, not offensive and pretty enjoyable. A likable brew that is easy to get along with. Nice and tasty without any ill effects. Good tingly carbonation that is just above average. Overall very pleased with this brew and I’m glad I picked it up. Finish is a bit dull and perhaps a tad watery, but nothing out of the norm for a beer of this style.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Fluffy white head recedes to skim surface. Banana and clove from front to back -- tastes like banana bread in a glass -- a little too much like banana bread in a glass.

Pours cloudy golden-bright copper...off-white head...initial whiff of bananas, like now and laters-yummy....some underlying malt, fresh and clean, fresh yeast as well...yeasty clove flavor, but not very intense and the body is thin and watery...a good hefe, from my experience, the Germans do it better, complexity-wise....lemony finish, tasty, ok in my book

Cloudy pale golden coloured body with a light white head. Aroma of fresh wheat, stale hops, curacao and a tiny bit of spices. Light to Medium-bodied; Strongish wheat flavours roam with some fresh hops and light sugar as well. Aftertaste shows more malt and some sweetness along with a bit of the fresh hops. Overall, a decent wheat, nothing special - but good from the brewery in my opinion. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 19-May-2007 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Bottle. Clove and banana bread aroma. Cloudy golden orange color with small head. Ripe banana and orange/pineapple flavor but little else - no maltiness at all. As an American wheat, would have rated higher. A gateway beer for those who don’t really like beer, but little in common with most Hefes.

12 oz bottle poured into a LaFin Du Monde tulip glass. Pours a very nice color actually pale with orange tints. A bit of lacing. Aroma is present and very unique, I wouldnt call it a Hefe. A good presence of citrus fruit (orange and lemon). A candy sweetness very present as well. Not so strong on the wheat aroma. The taste is a bit weak for me. Similar presence of fruit but just not strong enough. Finishes with no bitterness and a sweetness meone candy aftertaste.

2006 bottle on 5/21/06.
Fairly rapidly receding white head atop an unfiltered light golden-straw body. Light lacing at the the top, but it is not thorough.
Heavily estery nose shows pure, fresh, clean banana and tons of playful bubble gum. Mild citrus and some dashes of light peppery-dry notes. Creamed wheat takes over and the bubble gum just basks in the dryness as the moderate honey graininess stays strong throughout. Fairly high strength.
A bit more watery than the nose suggests, unfortunately, but nothing unclean. The strong wheat is there, smoothing things out, but unfortunately, the water is fairly prevalent, which really leads to the downfall of this otherwise well-malted and interestingly estery example. Plenty of supple pils malt and sweet wheat lead to a malty example, but the esters and light phenols dry it out and balance it on the end. Banana lingers on lightly with the creamed wheat. No alcohol noted.
