12oz brown bottle with no freshness date.

Swirlled the yeast in, nice a cloudy though I expect a bit more form the head. Banana, check. Clove, check. A pleasing aroma. Some smoothness, carbonation is a bit tame. Yeasty palate with some dried breadiness in the back. Some medicinal phenols drop into the play, a bit of a distraction as it is not a subtle flavor but thankfully it soon fades away. Bandaids come to mind. Dry-ish finish with a some of the banana, clove and breadiness lingering.

Hard to pit this against pretty much any German hefe, decent.

Pours a clear golden color. The bottle says it is unfiltered for a cloudy appearance, but my drink is as clear as it gets. There is also no head at all, which I am used to a nice thick white head atop a hefeweizen.
Smell has a little bit of clove and banana to it, but not very strong.
Taste is that of a very typical hefeweizen. A mild banana and clove taste, like the smell.
Mouthfeel has a nice smoothness to it, with a bit of a crisp hit.
Drinkability is okay on this beer. An easy drinker, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
