Cape Cod Summer

Brewed by Cape Cod Beer
Style: German Hefeweizen
Hyannis, Massachusetts USA

In short: A clean and ultra-basic hefeweizen. As drinkable as it is unremarkable.
How: Tap at some restaurant on the Cape Cod
The look: Cloudy dark yellow body topped by a small white head
In long: Typical but strong hefe nose with lots of banana esters. Body has plenty of wheat, Shredded-Wheat™ breakfast cereals flavour, a little fluffy, semi-dry with a floury and doughy sensation, bananas. This is not a watery hefe. No sweetness. Pleasant to drink but this is just too basic bare-bone to give it high marks. The best of all the Cape Cod beer I’ve tried (grand total of 2) and a totally appropriate seasonal summer ale. A good reason to visit Cape Cod during the summer. That and the fact that swimming in freezing water doesn’t do miracles for the package.

Got a growler of this in Plymouth over the weekend. It pours a very nice golden haze with a good sized white head. Not overly strong legs, but in keeping with the style. The nose is bready with hints of banana and some sweetness. The first thought when it hit my mouth was "refreshing". The right amount of carbonation lifted the otherwise watery brew. It started off sweet with a subtle bubble gum flavor that is present through out but completely dominates the finish. Nice brew. I would pair it with a nice fried seafood lunch.
