Another beer complements of bditty and BlueMooner...
Beer poured a very hazy pale yellow. Oddly enough the stream coming from the bottle appeared to have little haze at all. Got an airy, white head that lasted till about halfway through the session. Slight lacing along the glass.

Spice and citrus are prevalent in the aroma. A bit of banana and clove typical of a hefe.

Taste had a good spicy-hop character. Banana seemed to be more prevalent than clove flavors. Definitely, there was a hint of lemon, especially in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel was where this beer was lacking. It definitely tasted watered-down. It was fairly light in body, but it seemed that this wasn't do to high attenuation. I would call it a hefe lite. Bitterness wasn't overbearing (I've had a few wheats that were).

Had good drinkability though. It hit the spot on a ridiculously hot spring day.

Slightly hazy yellowish-peachy hue, the white bubbly head faded very quickly to a soapy collar, no lace was produced either. Disappointing for a Hefe. The potency in the nose is modest, kind of clean with light underlying “funkiness,” weak lemon/fruit hints too, thin clove influences. The palate has distant clove flavors, equally faint lemon and banana… slight spiciness (which is most noticeable in the finish)… the wheat is discernible. The flavor profile is in the general area of a “Hefe,” it is good, tasty but not an authentic “knock-your-socks-off” beer (which I want in my Bavarian Wheat beers). Medium-light body… refreshing, solid carbonation… good mouthfeel… pleasant to drink… I’d imbibe in this one again.
