Pours gold into a weizen. Head quickly recedes to nothing. Bubblegum and clove aromas. Dry with slight banana and a lasting sour finish.

Apple and clove nose. Clear golden, thin head, pretty much like apple juice. Tastes like it smells, but with the cloves taking a more dominant role. It actually has a bit of a barnyard finish. Not in the mold of a true hefeweizen, but fairly tasty. Wanting in malt and/or esters.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Norm's, 8/11/09
Aroma: Yeast, dough, banana, clove, sweet, very much the standard hefe aroma
Appearance: Cloudy yellow-orange color, fluffy white head
Flavor: Similar to the nose, sweet and malty, banana, clove, mild earthy hops, a bit of an odd spice tang to it
Palate: Light body, clean, easy drinking
Overall Impression: This is a decent example of the German Hefe style. Nothing super exciting is going on here, but it's drinkable and nice.
**Just submitted a Photo for this one as well, as it was missing one. (Randomly, this is the 3rd beer I've rated today and the 3rd one that's missing a photo).

12oz bottle labeled as Bavarian Wheat. Murky brown orange color with a thick off-white head. Fresh clove aroma, sweet malt. Sweet and rich on the palate, but quickly fades into a banana watery finish. Some lemon orange citrus flavors going on as well. A touch darker and maltier than most of the style, and it works quite well. I rated this higher on draft.

Tap at Barcade - pours a hazy burnt orange - semi-tart, wheaty/grainy aroma, with moderate clove, and quite an earthy character - fairly soft in the mouth - mostly tart, with just a hint of sweetness to balance it - quite a bit of banana and phenolics, a touch of clove - a tiny bit of nuttiness - strong wheat near the back end - seems very much modeled off of Schneider hefe, which for some is probably a great thing - fairly tasty.
