Poured from can with dark yellow color and white head. Mild typical hefeweizien nose coming through but accented fruity/citrus aroma. Taste similar but more of the hop flavor, however lacking the bitterness. Overall, a really good beer but I would consider more of a mildly hoppy wheat as opposed to a true hefeweizen.

Pours a hazy darker yellow golden color with white head. Bananas, cloves, other citrus, and some wheat on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium bodied. Finishes with banana and cloves, with a lingering wheat undertone.

Poured from a can into snifter. Deep golden yellow. A nice initial head and lacing, but the lacing dwindled with time. The smell was fragrant with banana and cloves, as was the taste. The taste also included nutmeg and pepper. Overall, a nice hefe!

12 oz can pours a hazed, dark orange color with a small (for a hefe) cap of off-white head that sticks around a fair bit and some smattering of lace.
Nose is orange dreamsicle, bubblegum and a banana milkshake. Smells pretty good, but I think the yeast aromas are a bit faint.
Taste has some good interplay of the Mandarina hops and hefe yeast, but both seem a little too subdued here and the body is thin. I feel like the underlaying hefeweizen is just meh. Get this beefed up some and we could be talking a really good beer here.
