Bottle. Hazy gold with a modest white head for a hefe. Wheaty bread aroma with lemon, peach, more vanilla than banana, cloves. Lovely creamy texture. Bready, sweet and fruity with a distinct tanginess and (maybe slightly over-) prominent cloves. Not all that much banana, which is very much to my taste. Rustic and refreshing.

Almost clear, dark golden in color, topped by an off-white head of moderate size. Pine cones, resins and hop pellets in the aroma, some malty hints and orange too. The flavor is piney and resiny, mostly keeping the malts outside. Full body, lightly warming and full bodied with a long bitter finish. Nice and tasteful, well worth a try. 130817

Bottle at the Stone 17th anniversary festival. Unclear orange, off-white head. Sweet nose, canned tropical fruits, white sugar. Some grassy, light piney hops. The flavor is mostly on the hoppy side, the malty sweetness lurking in the back. Sweet on the palate, full body, lightly warming. Too sweet this one, but not bad. 130817

Bottle at the Stone 17th anniversary festival. Clear, golden body, small white head. A bit sweet on the nose and palate, but mostly dry. Nice carbonation. The flavor is too sweet, but pretty nice. Pale malts and grassy, fruity hops. Long sweet and malty finish with grassy hops. Pretty nice, but too sweet. 130817
