From Anchorage haul back.
This was poured into a weizen glass.
The appearance was a hazy orange to yellow color with a big white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute and a half. Light lacing started and then slid adequately into the beer.
The smell started off with a sour banana and then a light clove followed. As the beer warmed up, the clove settled out a bit.
The taste was pretty much the same as the smell. There was a light sweet to sour banana aftertaste.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was there for the style and for me.
Overall, decent hefeweizen. I might have had mine a bit old. Still I’d have this again.

Bottle shared at a private tasting. Pours clear yellow with a thin white head. Fair head retention. Aroma of big banana notes, wheat, spice, yeast. The taste is yeast, spice, wheat, banana. (See what I did there?) Medium bodied, strong lingering spice.

Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours translucent gold with a slight, transient white head. Aroma is very banana/clove. Medium body, or almost. Flavor is very banana/clove. There’s an odd aspect - suggests wheat. Oh well, guess that’s necessary. I think I’m even getting a bit of that old Fleer’s bubblegum thing. Certainly one of the better hefes I’ve had lately.
