Dirty amber brown golden color. Smells like the fruit cups I took to school in junior high, apple pie and spice in the nose. Very big malty. Tons of apple pie and spice with over ripe bananas. Sweet but not cloying. Super full body. This is as good as I can imagine a 9.5% hefe to be. That said a 9.5% hefe is inherently not a very good idea. Low carbonation. Slightly boozy. Glad I shared this with five people. Might have been better to share with seven people.

Thanks Greg for sharing the bottle! Poured into a taster showing well filtered caramel yellow with white foam lacing. The nose bubble gum and banana. The palate is full bodied and highly carbonated. Flavors of sweet bubbles gum and banana with a strong prickly alcohol spiciness.
