On tap at Marietta Brewing alongside the Raspberry Wheat, this brew appeared a cloudy golden hue with a nice sized white head, which left behind a good bit of lacing around my pint. Aroma contains mild clove and banana notes along with some sharp wheat and citrus character not a bad smell at all standard hefe. Taste is a bit thin a touch of grainy offness but the crisp wheat character along with the banana and clove presence carries well, just not my favorite representation of the style. Mouthfeel is light-medium body even carbonation not as fine and delicate as German brewed counterparts or well done American versions. Drinkability definitely quaffable somethng you order by the pitcher when with a group of friends.

look: 3 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Presentation: On tap, served in a pint glass.

Appearance: A hazy gold with about a finger of head that retained well. Nice lacing.

Aroma: This one is a little lower on the esters, but still had a definite aroma of banana and clove with a lesser yeast aroma than usual for a hefe. Nice wheat malt in the nose. Somewhat clean, but very pleasant.

Taste and mouthfeel: a little thin, but refreshing. Tangy wheat malt, slight banana and clove. Perfect hop balance. Well attenuated and refreshing.

Notes: This was a nice beer to have after a long drive on a hot June day. A bit light for a hefeweizen, but very drinkable and refreshing.

Slightly hazy (virtually clear for a hefe), golden colored beer. Served with a nice white head. Average head retention, and shows a decent lacing. Nice clove and yeast aroma with hints of banana and other fruits. Very sweet taste, with just a touch of hop bitterness. Distinct herbal note in the flavor. Mouthfeel is on the thin side. Drinkability is OK, but it is really sweet. Seems more like a sweet Kristall than a Hefe.
