Style: German Hefeweizen
Augusta, Missouri USA

Cask Stillage from the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 26/09/2009 Big banana fruit aroma. Golden coloured strong in alcohol hoppy and wheaty with a crisp and slightly bitter finish.

On tap @ the sister brewpub, Square One. Appearance is very thick golden, cannot see through it. The beer is basically an esters gone bad hefe. There just isn’t much else backing it up. It is watery banana, some orange peel, and fruit sugar throughout. Also needs a bit more carbonation.

On tap at Augusta Brewpub. Unfiltered banana yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of lemon, herbs and mild banana. Lively palate tastes of banana, wheat, lemon and yeast.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours an unfiltered yellow-orange color with a thin and foamy off-white head that diminishes steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of bananas and citrus plus touches of wheat. Medium, clean body with fruit and wheat flavors along with notes of yeast. The finish is sweet and fruity with banana and light yeast aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

On tap at the 2006 Best of the Midwest Brewers’ Festival. Pours cloudy yellow with a hefe appearance. Unfortunately, my glass was filled with chunks of fungus from the jockey box that had most likely never been cleaned. Good banana and clove esters to the aroma and flavor. Not bad at all. A good enough beer that I refuse to slam it for being served under such filthy conditions. Clean your lines, you cheap-skate lazy bastards!

tap at brewpub in Augusta, MO. pours lightly hazzy yellow with a nice sudsy white head and good lacing. banana, diacytl aroma with notes of clove. big banana flavors that overpower the light diacytl notes. nice mouthfeal-creamy and just the right amount of carbonation-velvety. a pretty decent hefe from a midwest brewery.

Tasted 11/5 at the Brewery. Orangish-brown with a hazy body. White ring of head. Dirty yeast aroma with a banana note. Floral and citrusy. Apples and melons in the mouth. Good Hefe!
