The aroma presents a mixture of hefe banana and strawberry with some clove. The strawberry is not too strong, but the combination with the traditional hefe flavors seems a bit off.
Pale golden yellow, hazy, amply carbonated, topped by a tall while head with decent retention and some lacing.
The flavor continues the aroma with mixture of banana, strawberry, and clove. The artificialness of the strawberry, though, hits pretty strongly in the flavor, as does the somewhat off combination of strawberry and banana. Rather than complementing each other, the banana and strawberry clash in a not very likeable way. The combination is harsh, rather than refreshing, with a kind of harsh bitterness (not from hops, but from the flavors clashing I think) in the finish. The flavor likeability does not improve as the beer warms. The opposite, in fact.
The body is moderate with good carbonation.
Overall, this was not a successful attempt by Schell's in my opinion.
For flavored hefeweizens that I tried this year, J. Wakefield's El Jefe (coconut) Hefeweizen and especially Potosi's Rosa Stiefel Grapefruit Hefeweizen were more successful.
