Color is darker yellow and opaque. Pours 2 fingers of foam that slowly dissipates. Aroma is zesty, fruity yeast; I wouldn't say the phenolics are banana or clove, but more akin to Wyeast 3724 pepper. Flavor follows the nose at first and then morphs into an orange flavor with hints of chocolate, finishing with a sweet, fruity flavor. Nucleation is a bit sharp due to high carbonation, but fitting for the style. It is a bit more complex than most hefeweizens, but it is not extraordinary; it's lacking a flavor component on the fruit side that really sets it apart, so 4 stars.
