I received a bottle of Happy Hef from Rayyankee in our RCE exchange. First off, my apologies to you Ray...I have not yet sent your package out. I promise it will go out next week when I get back in the office.

Now...on to the hef. It poured really nice. It had a great head that left a nice lacing. The color was a darker yellow and hazy like it's supposed to be. The aroma was quite strong. I got a lot of spiciness (clover I think) with a touch of banana. I don't know what yeast you used, but it had to be a wheat or hef yeast because I don't think it was coming from hops. Since the aroma was so strong, I was actually a bit worried that it was going to come through on the flavor also. But I was wrong, the flavor was quite mild. It had very little to no hop flavor and aroma, and most of the flavor was the wheat malt, with a touch of the yeast coming through.

In a nutshell, this is a very aromatic beer that screams hef, with a mild flavor that goes down very easily. It's a very easy drinking beer.

Nice job Ray!!!

Thank you Chris glad that you enjoyed it .I ddid use white labs Hef yeast and that is where the clove and banana flavor come from. This is one of SWMBO favs and that is who i make it for but i must confess that i find it to be a very drinkable session beer.
