16oz can. No dating information found. This has a 6.1% ABV.
Partly cloudy, straw colored body. Strong pour yields a thin finger of white head but this disappears shortly after. No lacing.
Aroma of wheat malt, with some semblance of cloves and bubble gum, but behind this is some industrial cabbage smell.
Taste is a wheat ale but the chemical cabbage reappears in the flavor profile. Has a little sweetness but the spices are indistinct.
Slightly thin mouth feel. Okay carbonation.
Cool name but off putting chemical flavor.

Tasted in a 6 oz taster from draft at the Mikerphone tap room on April 12, 2017. Look is cloudy gold with a thick white head and some sticky lacing. Smell and taste is banana, clove and spices with caramel and wheat malts. Feel is medium in body that is initially creamy but finishes a little dry.

Crowler filled 4/2/17; drank 4/5/17 @ the Yarchives.

Cloudy orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a nice, noisy bright white head; frothy lace.

Banana, mild caramel, mild wheat & faint clove notes in the nose.

Creamy, medium thick mouthfeel.

Banana, caramel & mild cream flavors up front; mild clove dryness on the finish. Hefe's aren't my go-to, but this was enjoyable.
