Bought from the draft at the brewery. Cloudy amber color with a small head. Decent hefe overall, nice soft feel in the mouth, nice bit of banana on the tongue. Enjoyable.

First had: on tap at the brewery
Not a bad hefe, honestly. Cloudy straw-yellow pour with a foamy white head; decent retention and lacing. Aroma was a bit muted, toasted wheat, light citrus and banana esters. Nice wheat profile in the taste, some classic banana/clove, but more of a fresh lemony flavor. Nice. Light-medium body, soft carbonation. Pretty good overall.

I had this on-tap at Lee's Retreat.
A: Poured an orange, pumpkin color, very cloudy in its disposition, and with only a slight fraction of a finger head.
S: Not a whole lot, maybe a touch of ginger and coriander. Very understated overall.
T: Very bitter, much more so than most hefes on the market. It did have that standard bubble gum flavor that I've come to expect from wheat brews worth their weight in gold. Overall, though, the flavor was kinda one-dimensional.
M: Like I said, this was pretty bitter, with a lower than average carbonation bill and some mild lacing.
O: This was good, but not great. However, I would definitely like to try this one again. Since it's readily available in my area, I most likely will.

Pours a hazy moderate to dark straw color with a nice white head and a good deal of cliny lacing. Nose brings two out of the three usual suspects, as I'm getting clove and banana, but not bubblegum. Taste is clove and banana all the way, keeping a bit of wheat and mild sweetness in the background. Mouthfeel is light and refreshing with good carbonation. Drinks quite well and was nice on a hot summer day.

Another new one for me, we brought a bunch over to the fourth of July cookout. Served cold and poured
into a nice tasting glass, this one was consumed on 07/04/2010.
Very nice pour with a light colored golden yellow that came through wonderfully from across the table.
Big head of white caps the top easily and leaves little room in the glass. Nice lacing is left to look
down the sides.
Aroma is light bready malts, hints of light banana, clove, a touch of some light citrus as it warms up
near room temperature. Clean, crisp, and totally seasonable flavor leaves me very, very happy. Nice
hint of clove and light citrus, hints of banana and lots of bready touches as well. Very well balanced
and very nicely done. Smooth, light, and incredibly drinkable.
Overall a very solid offering here and my first from them. I would have no issue with trying this one
again any day.
