This American-made hefe delivers the style’s classic fruit and spice, plus a few new twists. Clove, banana, white pepper and pear scents entwine in an intricate aroma that preludes a balanced sip. A soft wheat base skims over the tongue before clove spice emerges to counter the blossoming sweet bubblegum and fruity pear and berry notes. This beer treads lightly on the tongue, but its vivid, fresh flavors charm the taste buds.

5,0% ABV. Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a slight clove and banana. Flavor is more banana and clove hefe but the finish is citrus tart from a odd hop choice. It was not off putting just a bit odd for the style. Decent hefe with some American citrus hops.

355ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, orangey golden colour with small to average, macropore, rapidly diminishing, white head. Weak, wheaty and fruity aroma, hints of apple, pear, banana, a touch of clove. Taste is dry, wheaty and slightly yeasty spicy, hints of banana, dried banana, a touch of sage and clove; light, minimally watery. Adequate composition, but for real "Bavarian style" a tad too light.

Keg at Underbelly, SD, 15/11/14. Hazed golden orange with a well appointed off white head. Nose is spice, light tropical fruit notes, apricot, straw. Taste comprises tangy apricot, yeast esters, clove, tangerine, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Nice refreshing beer but not really true to the style as I know it, fair dose of hops and a big tropical fruit infusion, tasty.

12oz bottle pours deep gold with weak white head. The aroma offers up smooth cloves, a bit of banana and earthy grains. The taste has pretty bold cloves and sugary sweet maltiness rolling into some banana and then some vague, maybe noble hoppiness. Decent enough Hefe.

A pretty decent example of the style. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy yellow-golden color with a large creamy yellow-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was banana, clove, orange and was very bready. The flavor was bread, clove, orange and honey. Medium finish and moderately full bodied. Solid.
