On tap at their brewpub in Oceanside.
A : Orangey with a very light creamy head. Thick, can't see through it.
S : Wheaty with notes of banana and clove, sweet malt is present as well.
T : Alot of malt to this, quite overpoweringly so. Barely notes of the banana or clove, or even wheat.
M : Medium bodied, very fuzzy. This is actually my favorite part of the beer, gulpable.
D : Being very light on the traditional flavors of a good hefe, this one falls to the wayside for me. But, it is very drinkable if you do like it.

Pretty good American take on a German Hefeweizen. Had it on tap at the Sea Salt restaurant in Torrey Pines CA. Pours a hazy gold color, a little darker than the traditional straw color. Small white head (due to the dreaded frosted glass). Some lacing and less than average head retention. Aroma includes the usual, cloves, bananas, wheat bitterness and cardemom. The aroma is not as strong as the best hefes, but still true to style. Taste is a bit less astringent and strong as the good German here's but still true to style and quite tasty. Mouthfeel is rich enough, with nice wheat bitterness and a touch of astringency. I enjoyed it, great with food.
