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.

12oz can bb 2/26/19 poured into a wheat beer glass at fridge temp 4.8% ABV. The beer pours only barely hazy in a straw yellow color. The head is nearly white and recedes from a big crown to a thin cap leaving behind some lacing. The aroma is a bubblegum & banana hybrid. The taste follows with bubblegum, banana and a bit of clove. The bitterness is present, but not oppressive. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, adequately carbonated and mostly dry in the finish. Overall, good. A well rounded example.

From the can, it pours a hazy light amber with a large, white head that slowly diminishes as you watch it. Banana in the nose. The mouth gets an upfront banana-ey hit with a bready base. Not bad!

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.
