Notes / Commercial Description:
The dream begins with open top fermentation. At high krausen a foamy, rocky yeast head crests the sides of the fermenter releasing notes of black pepper and spicy clove. Unfiltered and cloudy with yeast, it's slightly tart & downright refreshing.

Unfiltered, this beer has a smooth taste . The flavor was good, though not as full as some wheat beers have. It went down easily, with little bitterness. I like wheat beers and would have another but its not so unusual that I would go out of my way to look for it.

Sour taste. Spicy notes. Interesting taste seems overly acidic- not something I’d get again

12 ounce bottle poured into a tulip glass.
L---Golden yellow with just the slightest bit of cloudiness to it. Thin white head with no real retention. Decent lacing.
S---Spicy, banana, wheat & yeast.
T---Heavy wheat notes. Spiciness (pepper), some light banana.
F---Not heavily carbonated at all, almost flat.
O---A functional hefeweizen, but there's a lot of better ones out there.

Like many have said already, banana and pepper come across with decent carbonation. Poured with a nice dense head with great lacing. Not sure why so many poured clear, mine poured very hazy after a small swish of the last bit of beer before pouring the rest into a glass.

12 oz bottle from PA.
Sweet aroma with wheat, banana and light spicing.
The flavor largely follows. Good complexity and balance for style.
Overall: a true Belgian style wheat beer.

Cloudy orange gold color,decent amount of carbonation which was very noticable. Aroma was yeast,wheat,and spice. Taste was the same but some pepper and a dry finish. I agree that this came off a bit like a watered down tripel but it was light and refreshing and just not as dense or heavy as most tripels. Perfect summer beer or with a light lunch which is how I enjoyed it
