Golden yellow hazy body, white head. Aroma is strong with sweet malt — banana, dough and hints of earth and clove. The taste is sweet evoking flavors of banana with a hint of honey-lemon. Moderate carbonation and somewhat sticky mouthfeel. A moderate finish of tart lemon. I enjoyed this quite a bit especially on this hot, humid summer day.

Pours with the classic long lasting tall white head, over a hazy medium yellow body. Banana and fresh bready yeast aroma. Full bodied smooth delivery that is well balanced sweet malt at the start and tangy acidic wheat in the finish. Not to shabby.

2005 bottle from StewardofGondor drunk on 2/16/06. Bubble gum rises heroically upon opening, remaining powerful for a minute and then receding rather abruptly to allow a succulent note of sticky, moist, freshly prepared honey whole wheat dough. The malt overtakes teh bubble gum,, almost completely, while clove phenols lightly grace the nostrils, providing balance to the rich malts. A small amount of dry wheat finishes things, putting the coup de grace on this most deliciously rich and balanced nose of unyielding strength. From the nose, it seems to be one of the most malt driven hefes I’ve encountered. Appearance is all Capital, with the head immediately receding to a ring, and some light haziness. Golden copper colored body. Flavor does the nose justice. Rich, sticky honey and light graininess sticks all over the palate, while a touch of wheat sourness is felt in the back of the mouth, adding a most curious balance. Bubblegum and even light clove is apparent, further adding complexity. What is most notable, is the first flavor mix of bananas foster drenched in honey. Very rich mix of honey and caramel all told, while the wheat continues to build, further giving relief from the heavily sweet malts. Carbonation is moderately tight, but low, allowing the malt that much more sway. But between wheat, barley and yeast, I’d certainly say it strikes a balance. The sourness is quite authentic. The texture has an oily/slippery feel to it, almost creamy before it breathes and loosens up a touch. Carbonation could still stand to be a bit higher, but I’ve had the bottle now for a couple months. Wheat and a very light milky smokiness ligners on, while no alcohol is apparent. Fresh on draught this must be heavenly.

Bottled. Odd little beer, maybe I had an off bottle. The wheat is apparent when I crack the crown. Light amber-orangey color under the usual light head. I got a taste of cherry and lemon more than the traditional banana, maybe a hint of clove. Seemed more like a Belgian than anything German, but still very enjoyable. I'll have to try to find another one sometime soon.

Cloudy and orange. Small white head. banana aroma in this beer. Taste of lemon is also noticeable. New Glarus does a better wheat, but this is good too.

Yet another re-rate! This time, rather than from a sixer of unknown age I had this delivered to me directly from the brewery! Hey, its pretty nice. Cloudy darkish yellow. Head a little smaller than you’d like. Aroma: mint, lemon, clove, pepper. Aroma similar, light sweet and banana. Its main flaw is that the finish is thin and watery, leaving a very light, empty aftertaste. A hefe shouldn’t have "heft" but increasing the palate a little here wouldn’t put this beer in danger of being too heavy.

Hazy gold color with a thin white head. Slight citrus aroma. A little better than the average German Wheat (I thought it was on the same level as Weihenstephaner) but I am still not a big fan of the style. It is too wheaty/citrusy for my tastes.
