First Impression: banana, fruit, spongey body with nice sweet overtones. Aroma is pure fruit. Visuals are a hazy yellow gold body under no head at all. Taste is a typical hefe with some nice hoppy finish. Palate is well rounded, wet sandy, with a long dark finish. Second Impression – not a bad beer at all: great finish, classic hefe body, and a good color and haze. Aroma is nice, finish is nicer.
