13.3/5.02.83/5.0-NAWeizen
Commercial Description:
It is an all-natural, all-grain brew comprised mainly of malted wheat and pale 2-row malted barley. There is a significant amount of Cara malt included to add residual complexity and results in a golden color. An authentic German Hefeweizen yeast strain was chosen to create Windward Weiss and it contributes mild banana tones and clove aromas characteristic in this style of beer. Three hops were chosen: Magnum hops for bittering, Tettenang hops for a mild spice flavor, and Cascade hops for a mild citrus finish. 100% unfiltered, this brew will remain cloudy to the glass, allowing the special yeast to round out the brew.

Brewed for the Newport Restaurant Group.

On tap at Trio - Narragansett Pier, RI. Aroma is a vague lemon spritzer, wheat oil, and banana bread. Pours a somewhat cloudy darker golden-bronze, with minimal head. Flavor was fine, if a bit generic and bland. Some general Hefe yeast flavor, a bit of wheat sugar, some grassy hop flavor. All pretty mild, understated, and underwhelming. Quaffable...although it did carry a lingering sweetness. I don’t think the yeast was really let to shine as much as it should. And it should have been much cloudier, leading me to believe this had been heavily filtered or fined. As with many of the other Newport Storm beers, middle of the road. Fresh and drinkable, but forgettable.
