Scent

Cracking the top on this one immediately reveals a really pleasant sweet banana and honey aroma, mixed with a really light and smooth clove scent that is common amongst hefeweizens. There is also a subtle bubblegum undertone to it, in my opinion.

Taste

Taking a swig of this beer, you’ll initially taste a fruity yeast flavor, if you’re anything like me. It’s got quite a zing of carbonation. After that, it tends to turn a bit tart, but then smooths out with the biscuity banana and clove taste you’d expect from a Hefeweizen.

Overall

I really don’t think you can make a better Hefeweizen than this. It’s such a well balanced beer that offers a variety of sensations to the tongue. The flavor is not too yeasty or clove-like, as I feel is the case with many in this style. Every time you get a flavor, it seems to dissipate and hit you with something different. Just a really fantastic smooth adventure of a beer overall.
