A mid-summer pickup of this brew at the local craft beer store, time and weather are good to try it. No previous knowledge of the brewery, I have been to McKinney, nice town. I am pouring into my ABGB tulip glass, why not? Cola colored and possessing a complementary light tan head, it presents decently. It smells of raisin and grain, slightly astringent but I’m here for the drink. I detect dark fruit, malt, sort of yeasty, crackers. Not bad, glad I had it, but not my cup of tea.

Draught in Dallas at a couple of spots. I enjoyed this and found the rich malt to be pleasing. Crisp finish.

Keg at Ginger Man, Plano. Clear mahogany colour, small head. Rich coffee aroma. Mid dry with light-medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Coffee and toast. Mid bitter grassy finish. While the malt character does not up to my expectations from the brewery name it is a pretty good dunkel, on the roasty side.

Bottle (huge thanks to blutt59). Banana, orange, clove, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Clear golden yellow with small head. Mildly sweet banana, orange, clove, wheat malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Nice body. A very well made beer - better than most American regular Hefeweizens.
