Bottle @ home. Limited edition, radioactive barrel aged! A little hazy but quite light yellow appearance with a small off-white head. Lemon, spicy, mild banana/clove, wheat malty nose. Quite citrusy, light wheat malty, mild banana/clove, moderately spicy, quite carbonated flavor. Ok.

1 pint 8.3 fl oz bottle. Poured a hazy yellow color, with a thick foamy head. Aroma was lemon, citrus. Flavor was a bit spicy, touch of grain, banana. It was good, but I have a feeling I got gypped with the price being something like 11 bucks at the beer store for one bottle.

Bottle: Poured a bright clear orangey color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus is more powerful then I would have expected with light wheat notes also noticeable. Taste was more tart and citrusy then I had expected with light wheat malt notes – makes me wonder if I had an infected bottle. Body was quite full with good carbonation. A bit too tart for my taste and I will have to re-rate that one.

330mL bottle, pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma of banana, citrus and orange peel. Flavour is heavy on the citrus, with some orange peel, and a very tart finish. Less citrus and more banana / wheat would be better.

Dry weizen. Almost like a Sapporo mixed with a Wheat ale. Golden amber pour. Rated 1/22/03

Skunked clove nose. Hazy amber, thick white head. Sour lemon with garbage disposal overtones. Hints of clove. Lemon zest finish. Excessively tart for the style. Not a good representative of a German hefeweizen and not very well executed.

Golden with a white head. Sweet malts, light banana, yeast, and spice in the aroma. Flavor has a strong sweet malty taste. Also some fruits, banana, and light spicing. A good hefe, but not outstanding.
