Draft. Amber gold pour, aroamis banana pastry, vanilla. Flavor is fruity, heavy hefe flavor, bit over the top hefe, very bubblegummy.
Banana, clove and spices on nose. Taste follows. Solid, if not typical, hefe.
Very good for American produced hefe. Good banana sweet flavors. Sugar sweet finished balanced
It pours yellow and clear with a white head. Head retention is good. There are some doughy aromas with some clove and very low banana. The flavors are of doughy wheat with medium clove. There is very low banana. There is a bit of spice as well. It has a medium light body with a clove and spice after taste. Overall, a refreshing beer.
Pours hazy yellow orange, good sized white head. Aroma is wheaty, banana, clove, typical for a hefe, if not overwhelming. Taste is similar, but stronger banana notes, and some spicy hops. Refreshing after a bike ride.
From tap. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is estery. Medium dry, estery, slight fruity. Lasting dry estery to bubblegum finish.
Medium pale, brownish orange color that pours with a thick pure white head. The aromas and taste are a delicious spicy and banana, in a slightly watery body. Sweet with an artificial sugar / aspartame like aftertaste.

Can from Walhole. Pours slightly hazy golden with a large soft off-white head. Aroma of school glue, yeast, and sour banana. Taste is mushy banana, light clove, light green grass. Not bad.
Banana nutty clove Belgian yeasty aroma and flavors. Taste is a bit flat with a metallic finish. A bit dirty almost. Drinkable and refreshing but nothing special. Has some good qualities, but falls short.
Draft. Pours amber with thick white head and lacing. Banana and clove aroma. Banana and clove with slight citrus tartness. Creamy finish.
Can. Slight metallic wheat aroma. Somewhat cloudy. Decent carbonation. Smoother bright taste with just a little ill wheat ale attributes. not bad overall. Could drink a few of these. Yes, good mannered hefe attitude on a backbone that lacks all those stupid added spices.
Hazy, yellow pour with a bright white head. The aroma has wheat and light banana. It has a light body with average carbonation. The taste is sweet with a refreshing finish.

Appearance: hazy golden with a white head
Taste: medium sweetness, medium bitterness,
Palate: medium body, creamy, average carbonation, dry finish
Good
Pours a hazy golden orange from the can with fluffy white head that dissipates to leave moderate lace. Aroma of German yeast esters and wheat. Taste follows, definitely to style, a little thin though. Solid for what it is.
Can, cloudy golden brown with a thin head, yeasty and lightly banana nose. Initially soft and faintly milky on the palate, then turning a little crisper as a moderate hoppy bitterness cuts in. Sweet fruity undertones linger beneath the yeasty body with its hoppy edges. Recognisably a Hefe, but with a touch of pale ale about it, yet not so strongly flavoured as many of the Hopfenweisse.
Tap. Bright sunny yellow with medium cloudiness. White creamy head. Aroma of bananas and a touch of clove. A nice sweet malt of wheat. Creamy body. Very bready. A nice Hefe
Poured from a can. Nice looking ale; full head and beautiful amber body with a lot going on inside the glass. Nice wheat flavor and a smooth taste. Good beer.
Can. Pours golden, average head. Aroma of banana, earthy, bread. Taste of banana, earthy, hint of spices.
Pours cloudy blonde with a slight white head. nose is fairly weak and is mostly bread and a touch of hops. flavor is fairly thin and leans very heavily toward wheat bread and a little generic sweetness. backside is moderate and Brady. this is basically liquid bread.
Can split in the hotel lobby of the RBWG ’15, Tampa, day II Friday 20/02/15.
Hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering.
Nose is banana, yeast esters, light smoke.
Taste comprises banana, caramel, straw, earthy, light clove.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Ok.
Pours slightly hazy straw colored with a wealth of smooth white head. Aroma is lightly spiced with bananas and wheat. The yeast is also fairly discernible on the nose. Flavor is relatively smooth and light. The beer itself is not bad in any way but there feels like there is something lacking.
Draught at Vancouver Craft Beer Week 2015
Cloudy dark blond color with compact head. The banana aroma and flavor is very strong, the mouthfeel is quite sweet, not much bitterness.
Nicely made.
Well rounded middle of the road Hefeweizen with mild bananas and some spiciness.
Honestly I had to have this in the can cuz I'm on vacation and didn't have the proper glasswear. It great on this hot summer day and a nice change from all the ipa's I've had recently.

True to style Hefeweizen was very good. Heavy clove nose and the ripe bananas dominated the taste. Looked good too. At the mellow mushroom.
