A traditional wheat ale with big ester notes of banana – backed by tones of clove and peppercorn. Brewed with 100% North Carolina-grown wheat from Riverbend Malt House in Asheville, NC, this beer is sure to become a summer favorite.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a weizen glass. Cloudy light orange with suspended sediment and one finger off-white head. Aroma is banana, medium/light body, medium/lighter carbonation, thin small bubble lacing. Taste is banana, esters, some clove, pepper, off flavors, and wheat. A lot of different flavors going on here, not necessarily all jiving, not my jam.

On tap at the brewery. Pours pale yellow with a big, off-white head. Aroma is smoke and tobacco, wheat, and some bitter orange peel. Low sweetness, quite bitter, and a little unpleasantly funky. Medium body, hard, astringent, with a long, bitter aftertaste. Overhopped, for sure, but I can see what should be a pretty good beer. Something went wrong here, though - infection, dirty line, or a really dirty glass. Shame...

Draft sample at the 9th Annual Summertime Brews Festival, Greensboro, 7/13/13. Pours a hazy orange color with a medium sized frothy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of citrus, spice, bubblegum. The taste is dry wheat, citrus, mild herbal notes and a mild spice finish. Medium bodied.
