On tap at the Holy Grail Pub. Served as Franconia Hefeweizen.

The beer pours a hazy yellow color with a decent-sized white head. The aroma is full of wheat with some banana and spicy clove notes. The flavor is very creamy and is full of banana flavor. There is a little bit of clove in the flavor, but it hides behind the banana and wheat. Creamy, medium mouthfeel and low carbonation. A very nice Texas-brewed hefeweizen.

I normally like Wheat beers, but couldn't even finish this one. Yuck. Could not really discern just what the heck flavor this was.

I think I got a poorly bottled batch, because it had no carbonation, no head, taste was so bitter and foul that I couldn't finish the bottle. Went through the entire six pack - same results. Smelled bad, not like a hefe should. Bottled October 1st. I'll try this again in the future, but not anytime soon.

Had this on tap at the brewery.
A great brew! Hazy yellow. A lot of smell and taste of banana, citrus and bubblegum. Very sweet. Very refreshing for the summer.

I never liked wheat beers until recently. This one smells bready and delicious. Some fruit/banana small. Delicious taste. Sweet yet crisp. Not heavy. What I expected from the style and brewery given their roots.

Pours murky with a smaller head than I expected. Smells of citrus and wheat but has more of a banana taste which I expected. Left with a great taste afterwards. Overall good beer.
