Formerly brewed at Capital Brewery
Style: German Hefeweizen

Bottle, thanks jerc. Light hazy yellow pour, small white head. Slight banana in weak aroma (I really didn’t get anything else). Some coriander in bland taste - I found this quite watery and flavourless - not off, just nothing there. No hops, just lingering banana notes. Needs more carbonation as well. Bah, I guess this is far better on tap.

Bottle courtesy of JPDIPSO who plucked it from my wishlist into a trade. Why did I think this was from Washington DC? Oh well. Fairly clear golden body, with a white head that starts out well but diminishes quickly. Sweet fruity aroma has a belgian yeast quality to it. Sweet flavour with more muted fruit and malt. Some hops in the finish. More ’belgianness’ in the aftertaste. Average palate. Decent beer, but not much of weizen. Doesn’t seem to achieve the status described in other peoples ratings. Durf.

Bottle shared with jerc and tupalev - courtesy of jerc. Slightly hazy orange-gold colour with not much head. Aroma is yeasty, a little spicey, with some white wine notes. Flavour has some citrus and banana notes, but they’re more subtle that I usually expect from the style. It strangely seemed to have some Belgian character. Not bad, but it didn’t knock my socks off.

Beer pours cloudy honey color with a bit too small for the style egg white colored head that mostly dissipates. Really enjoyable aroma, wheat, very spicy with clove a nutmeg, banana too. Flavor is right there as well with banana and plenty of spiciness in the flavor. This beer does indeed hang with the top examples from Germany, which is quite an acomplishment for an American brewer. Very good. Thanks Patrick.

Excellent. As good as any German version. Cap really has the German beer thing down. Remember, your camp counselor is your friend and is here to help.

Not a big fan of the hefe’s except for ele hefe, but this wasnt too bad. Ever thing was like other hefe’s except it had a little more body to it, a little depth, probably the spicecs, not bad.

This was an excellent hefe if I may say so. Excellent wheat beer with tons of citrus- especially lemon and orange. slight spice in the foreground and nice clean finish. mmm... i havent had a hefe in a while...

This is not a bad beer for a hefe style. I’m just not bid on wheat beers. It is good for what it is, just not my thing.
