22oz bottle purchased as a single from Julio's, Westboro, MA. Red foiled cap.

Poured into a Mayflower nonic pint, formed a 3/4" tan head over the slightly cloudy orangey copper brew. Head falls slowly to half-height, with tons of sticky lacing. Aroma is slightly smoky cloves and wheat sweetness. Taste is also wheat sweet upfront, moderate clove character in the middle through to end. Mouthfeel is wow smooth, and drinkability is amazingly good. This one will get me back for more.

22 oz. bottle. Smells of banana. Pours a thick amber hue, with a thin head that never quite dissipates. Tastes sweet, but not too cloying. Average dunkel Weiss.

Damned thing almost exploded as I popped the cap, then literally filled my snifter with the head after roughly an ounce of beer hit the glass. The beer is a medium brown, very rich looking, in color; but all you notice is the huge head of slightly offwhite bubbles. All different sizes, all popping at different times.

Nothing Earth-shattering about the nose, it's not bad, just nothing exceptional. Standard issue banana and clove, with what must be cinnamon giving it more depth. All the usual hefe suspects are kept in line with an aggressive malt bill.

I totally dig the taste. Very malty, but it's got that nice yeasty tang to it and the aforementioned spice (has to be cinnamon) to balance the twang and add a little sweetness.

Medium-bodied, feels thick and creamy as it dances on the tongue. Tangy and sweet, faintly spicy with some heat at the end, mostly from the carbonation.

An extremely easy drinker. No real faults, the lack of smell is a minimal issue in my book. The style hasn't always been high on my list of must haves, but this beer may enter my normal rotation of drinks.
