Reviewed from old notes.
This was poured into a weizen glass.
The appearance was a nice cloudy yellow color with a big soft white foamy head that dissipated within about a good three minutes. Yeah, it took that long, seriously. The lacing was more than adequate with a real nice stringy speckling of spider web goodness - nice show.
The smell had some light clove, light coriander followed by the citrus soft sweet banana esters and a super refreshing sort of orange juice - really nice.
The taste took all of those previously mentioned flavors and combined to just about almost perfect.
The palate accepted a real nice sessionability with a great refreshing banana aftertaste and finish. How this one rolled over my tongue is quite remarkable - let’s just say everything I mentioned just hits it extremely nicely.
Overall, this is Penobscot Bay’s best beer, I hope some day I’ll make it back to Maine to partake in this wonderful beer.

22 oz bottle, pored a hazy straw, yellow. Nice big fluffy head that produced large spotted head. Aroma is Bravarian wheat, light citrus and a hint of coriander/spice. Taste is much the same as of the aroma. And is a very light refreshing brew. The down fall is it’s a very watery mouthfeel lacking any real body. A bad beer? No. However I would move to the next one
