Aroma: Overtones of banana. Undertones of cloves and citrus.

Flavor: Spicy clove in the beginning followed by mild sweetness and flour-like wheat in the middle. Banana is prominent in the end, and bubble gum lingers in the aftertaste.

Overall Impression: A “to style” hefeweizen. Clove and banana attributes are apparent but not excessive.
