Back Street Heritage Hefeweizen

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 13/10/2007 Hoppy aroma. White head. Golden coloured and hazy in appearance. Creamy on the palate. Slightly pale malt finish.

On tap at Vista location. Poured a color of dark gold that was slightly murky. Aroma of wheat, vanilla, honey and bread. Flavor was pretty blah, with corn, bread, wheat and honey. Not great.

Sample at the Irvine brewpub. This beer is a cloudy yellow color with a medium thin bone white head that dissipates slowly. Top spotty ring of lacing, with nothing underneath. Aroma of wheat and fruit, with a touch of malt. Medium, clean body with citrus and wheat flavors. The finish is fruity with a light wheat and clove aftertaste. Pretty standard fare overall.

Tap @ Vista location. Poured a hazy yellow color with a white head. Light wheaty citrus aroma. Moderate amount of citrus wheat in the flavor. Not really showing the typical esters and phenols of a hefe. Light bodied.

[Part of sampler @Vista, CA] Cloudy pale yellow colour, citrus aroma and flavour. hops.

[@Vista CA]-on tap-pours a white head and cloudy straw color. Aroma is tart lemon, hint of wheat. Taste is tart lemon, wheat, a bit of yeast and hops. OK effervescence.
