Draft. Orange, banana, clove, and toasted wheat malt aroma. Murky golden yellow with small head. Sweet earthy clove and orange/lemon/banana malt flavor. Nice solid Hefeweizen but malt is a bit light.

On tap at MBGSF 2014. Pours a hazy straw color and has an herbal aroma. Flavors are herbal, slightly tart, lavender, and green peppercorn. It’s a rather nice one.

From March of 2011, reviewed from notes and at the brewpub.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy amber to orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. There was some light lacing sticking around the sides of the glass.
The smell had a decent sweet honey to it and some light piney hops.
The taste was mainly the same with a light grassiness that was probably the sage.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. The carbonation was good for the style as it had a good sharpness but wasn’t anything overly done.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good APA well worthy of having again.

Rich copper and amber coloured body with a thin white head. Aroma of strong hops, grapefruit and pine - very nice! Medium-bodied; Strong hop flavours with a very piney and floral hop note and a significant malt backbone. A clean, yet bitter aftertaste with a very potent hop finish. Overall, great to try, especially since it’s only a local beer and nice for a brewpub! I sampled this pint on draught at Hop Cat in Grand Rapids, Michigan on 06-November-2010.

Draft at HopCat, Grand Rapids. Deep opaque, murky orange-brown body, thin tan head. Toasty, chocolaty nose with musty dark fruits and clove. Lots of chocolate in the body, also clove, grape, and raisins; vinous with a sweet , somewhat tart white wine finish. Reminds me of Bells Hell Hath no Fury, but fruitier and more acidic. Becomes cloying.
