Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

UPDATED: JUL 4, 2005 I did enjoy this and found it refreshing and it looked great, but it didnt have too much of an aroma or taste which was disapointing. It has a slightly spicey and smokey flavour but thats about it over the wheat. Good and will have again but could be more.
Bottle. Quite powerful aroma of.. surprise! banana. Its extremely dark, and if it wasnt for the big, fluffy head, I couldnt tell its a weizen from appearance. Flavor is a bit heavier and sweeter than the Hefe weizen.
Nice aroma. Dark colour. Dont know what to say. Its not too bad, but drinkable. Malty, fruity.
