      Overall Impression (2½)
      Yellow-opaque. Thin head. Banana aroma. It's a mouthful of bananas. This is the first public release of this beer, and according to the Lake Tahoe financial guy sitting here at the bar, it's an American - not Bavarian - style wheat beer. Go figure. Brewed by Golden Pacific Brewing.
