Easy to drink with a lingering, pleasant aftertaste. A rich, yolky-orange wheat beer, featuring the aroma of clove and fruit in perfect balance; refreshing on a warm day, with a hint of mandarin-orange-like acidity; huge effervescent head. Thick lasting foam that leaves an attractive lacing after every sip.

Cloudy golden yellow with moderate white head and effervescence. Banana, orange, clove, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Moderately sweet banana, orange, clove, wheat malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. Not bad - a bit clove heavy.

On tap at Dovetail, pours a fairly clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle clove, banana esters and soft wheat. Flavour is dry, with light esters, clove, and soft wheat. Not too bubblegumy; properly made. Solid.

Can from Beer On the Wall in Arlington Heights. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates rather quickly. No lacing on the glass. Get some banana, clove and citrus aromas. More citrus on the palate. Seems under-carbonated for a hefewizen. Flavors are all there, but wish there wish a bit more carbonation. Enjoyable though.

Pint can from Total Wine Madison, 3/16/22. Hazy orange, thin head, poor retention. Aroma of wheat, clove, citrus. Taste is citrus, wheat, clove. Thin, lingering spice. A bit rough. Okay. 63rd Ill Brewery.
