Had on tap. Best beer by Piece I have had. The aromas are spot on with banana, clove and wheaty yeast leading the charge. Body is thicker than prototypical for style, but I liked it. Just a good hefe all around!

On tap at piece. Look is orange and hazy, darker than I expect from a hefe. Smell is sweet esters, maybe banana. Taste brings all the banana, very creamy and thick feel for a hefe. Overall I wasn't a big fan when I started the pint, but it grew on me quite a bit. It doesn't hit all the hefe notes I prefer, but it is tasty

probably my least favorite of the beers we had here. its thin in feel and sort of belgian fruity on the yeast, far more esters happening than in the more traditional german editions, thats for sure. it looks a little watered down, whitish yellow without the usual puffy white head. still has a nice haze to it and plenty of visible carbonation. smells like belgian and german yeasts mixed together almost, not as banana forward as it is gum and cotton candy, so strong in flavor it crowds out the freshness of the wheat malt. the flavors are fine, its the balance, or lack there of, that bothers me with this one. the body is real light too, which i think is the beers greatest weakness. i like a creamy rich feel to these, and this is anything but. really the only beer on the menu here that was anything other than outstanding. drinkable sure, no off flavors or visible errors, just not what my particular palate enjoys in the style. this is not to say others will not find it delightful, i can appreciate its merits but its not for me...

Banana, clove, yeast and a bit of citrus in the scent. Banana, clove, bread, citrus, yeast, light sugar, and a hint of earth and more bread in the finish. A very good example of the style.
