Maple syrup brown color. I had to use a hard pour to force a decent head. Lacey speckles left like a frozen snowglobe.
Smells like fall. Light clove and gentle smoke mingle with maple syrup and squishy 'nanas.
Smooth, not particularly spicy clove, and woody Munich. Smoke is subtle and compliments the other flavors rather than overwhelm them. The strength of this beer is that all the flavors are blend well and compliment each other in perfect balance.

Fills the glass with a murky brown body and a decent tan head, but it failed to provide the big fluffy head you look for in weizens.
Sweet brown sugar and caramel malts on the nose. Yeast seems to add in some fruity esters as well. Smoke is present but a bit reserved.
A lot of different flavors going on with the first few sips. Nice malt presence with some toasted bread and caramel character. A healthy dose of yeast flavor as well, with some clove like spice and a fruity bubble gum note. The smoked aspect doesn't really come through until the end but leaves a nice lingering flavor.
Mouthfeel is light and bubbly. Finish is a bit drying. Overall, this beer was a bit underwhelming at first but it really grew on me as I worked my way through. Lots of flavor in a nice low-ABV package.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into my Portsmouth glass. As I opened the bottle foam started gushing out of the bottle. It took a long time for it to settle down in the glass as well. Once it did though it was a very nice looking caramel color with a huge, fluffy, tan head to it.
The aroma shows off the sweeter, bready, wheat flavors nicely. I get some malty, dark fruit, caramel and toffee flavors all coming out as well. The smoke is pretty reserved, but noticeable.
The taste starts out with more of the sweeter, bready, wheat and dark fruit flavors. The smoke really starts to come out in the back end and gives it a very nice campfire like quality. I really liked the wheat and smoke combination.
The mouthfeel is where things didn't seem right to me. It was extremely carbonated, to the point where it was so fizzy it was hard to drink. Overall it had some very nice flavors to it. I really like how the smoke and wheat mix. The mouthfeel didn't fit at all though and hurt the beers enjoyability for me. Overall a good beer that had potential to be excellent.
