This aint your mama's wheat beer. Coming in at 7.2% ABV, this is a sipper with a strong banana flavor and aroma, with imparted from WLP320 yeast. Minimal to no bitterness and hop aroma without being overly cloying.
Deep amber, cloudy and little head retention due to high alcohol levels. Strong banana with a hint of alcohol Big banana taste with and definite warming sensation from the high alcohol level. Minimal hop bitterness. A bit sweet without cloying. Creamy; not overly chewy but slightly syrupy. Minimal fizinesss from carbonation An enjoyable sipping beer. Really enjoy the big banana flavor and warming alcohol sensation. Would defintiely brew this again.
