On tap at Funky Buddha 5/21/2014.
A- Hazy straw-coloured body typical of a hefeweizen with a solid two finger white head, also about right for the style. Not much lacing, but does have solid retention.
S- Lots of banana and cloves, a little bit of bubblegum, not much fruitiness apparent in the nose. Smells like any other hefeweizen to be honest.
F- Starts out fruity in the beginning; the fruit actually does make me think pomegranate, though its not a distinct pomegranate flavour. In the middle, the cloves and banana start to pick up, and by the end of the palate, it's dominant. A solid fruity start and a classic hefeweizen finish. This is certainly enjoyable and solid, especially on a humid day like this in Florida.
M- Substantial enough body, on the thinner side but well carbonated and refreshing. Finish is like that of any hefeweizen, may even be a bit heavy on the yeast.
O- This is a nice take on the hefeweizen style; nothing complex but it is certainly an interesting flavour with the fruit flavours starting things off but with the yeast reminding you that it's there.

On tap at the brewery. Served in a plastic cup.
Appearance - Really murky. Pinkish pond water look. Small white head and a medium collar.
Smell - Banana and clove. Light estery fruitiness. No pomegranate.
Taste - Fruitier, but still not pomegranate. Kinda citrusy. Wheaty graininess. Clove and banana phenolic aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Medium body. Medium carbonation. A little bit of creaminess.
Overall - This just isn't very good. No pomegranate that I can really discern. Sluggish to drink.
