The dream begins with open top fermentation. At high krausen a foamy, rocky yeast head crests the sides of the fermenter releasing notes of black pepper and spicy clove. Unfiltered and cloudy with yeast, it's slightly tart & downright refreshing.

4.45/5  rDev +19.6%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Cloudy light golden color, didn't get much head from the draft pour, good lacing

Smell: Up front is the beautiful floral aroma of the Saaz hops, then you get some good banana, with cloves and spice in there as well.

Taste: Delicious wheat, banana, cloves, spices, some hoppiness, with a huge banana aftertaste. It was great.

Mouthfeel: A little bit of thickness, with crisp carbonation

Drinkability: A good session beer. Could drink this all day, and at 4.8% abv, I wouldn't get in trouble with it either.

Overall: Excellent. Had at Surf Taco in Jackson, NJ, and it was a good answer to the spiciness of my burrito. I was very impressed with it.

8/25/23 On tap at brewery in Hershey.

Despite low rating on this site, I find Troeg's offering to be very good for this style. Plenty of spices, clove and flavor. Aromas are very prominent as well. Nice all aroma depth of flavor!

12oz can served in a tulip. Can is dated "Freshest by 08/04/2023." @jonphisher sent it to me out of the kindness of his heart.

Pours a hazy yellow with a brassy tinge, medium head or a bit bigger that fades int o a dense, creamy, half-centimeter cap. Smell is fairly mild, sweet bananas and yeast, some spicy clove.

Taste is right in the same vein. Sweet and fruity with a hint of spice, and a pleasant bready yeastiness.

Mouthfeel is light and surprisingly dry. Overall, nice beer.

Light gold in color, cloudy but see through, beautiful puffy mountain of perfectly white head rises and rises upon pouring; as it settle it creates mountains and valleys; eventually landing as a thin microfilm layer, no lacing.

A very balanced yet also very aromatic nose; there is ripe banana, some yeast pops up upon each swirl, clove spice present but more in a supporting role; there is a refreshingness to the nose of this beer.

Taste presents much of the same banana bread like at first, then with clove lingering lightly in the aftertaste; starts to verge into classic bubblegum flavor.

Soft mouthfeel and light body, possibly a tad thin, nicely carbonated, with a refreshing bite on the finish; little no zero bitterness is found for me; very refreshing and easy to drink.

This is one incredibly refreshing and drinkable hefeweizen, I'm very glad I bought some to revisit. Highly recommend.

My wife found this as a single bottle at the local beer store and I was really looking forward to tasting this one. Unfortunately, after chilling it down and then pouring it out, I realized it wasn't the freshest and I could not find a date code on the bottle anywhere. Hopefully, we'll be able to find a fresh version in the future.

Pours a hazy gold. Thick foam. Spicy aroma. Light spicy fruit body. Very crisp. Just the right amount of sweetness and spice. Clean finish. One of the best wheat beers I've had. Great all around.
