 **Taste Notes:** **Taste Notes:**
 +
 +03/20/2011 - (21 days) Bottle was chilled for 24 hours.  Giant gusher!  Film stuck to bottom of bottle.  Good aroma of wheat, sweet fruitiness, some banana and flowers.  Thin mouthfeel, sweet wheat beer forward with a noticeable banana in the middle, and a lot of grassy, fresh grain taste at the end.  A hint of tartness, almost like drinking a lemonade, could be a decent refresher in hot weather.  Low carb after sitting for a while, so maybe it just hasn't had enough time to finish carbing.
 +
 +03/31/2011 - (32 days) Chilled for 7 days.  Super carbonated, but bottles aren't gushing anymore.  Strong aroma of banana.  Pure white foam so dense you can swirl it into shapes.  Taste is very mild, lager-ish, slight sweetness, no bitterness, very little fruit flavor.  The high carbonation makes it a little too bright.  Adding little cluster of craisins and waiting 20 minutes lowers the carbonation to a more reasonable level (and adds yummy craisins!)  Refreshing in the blazing hot sun, too sharp for a normal night.
