Not much banana, but some. Same goes for the clove. Watery.

Had fresh and on tap at the source in Munster, Indiana.
A very pleasant hefe- that hit the spot on a hot summer day.
Its looks, smells and tastes like the style's very best ... but 3 Floyds will not produce the standard until it controls the banana better... also a little less vanilla, please.
I particularly like that this hefe- shows 3 Floyds versatility in the craft of making malt do the work and, unlike so many other brewers, not relying on hops to sell beer.

I drank Drunk Monk 3 days later from a bottle I bought at the source and dropped my original Overall rating by .25. But still highly recommended.

Taste: Crisp, Belgian yeast bread, cider, semi sweet.
Malt and wheat semi sweet nose.
Gold/Amber color, opaque for the most part with lace on glass. Medium body. Easy drinking.

Darker & more alcoholic than style, pours a darker amber color. Nice head. Hit with heavy phenols of banana & fruits. First sip was nirvana. This stuff is nectar of the Gods.
