Copper Creek Weizen

Poured cloudy gold with a big white head. Aroma of bubblegum, banana, spice. Taste is less bubblegum and more fruit, spice corriander & pepper, light malt backing. Mouth is light and dry. Pretty easy drinking. Overall, a decent wheat brew.

Pint at the brewery. Pours a cloudy gold with a well formed head. The aroma is very bright and a little metallic with hints of banana. The palate is light. Thankfully the metal character did not transfer too much in the flavor. It’s sweet with a semi-dry finish and clean, light banana esters are apparent throughout. This is a good drink.

Tap at Copper Creek, Athens GA Pours hazy straw golden with white head. Aroma is fruity, wheat and some spices/clove. Taste, full body, fruity apricot/banana esters and wheaty palate. Light notes of malts are present. Smooth, spicy with clove being well present. Refreshing and easy to drink. A decent version of the style.

Cloudy yellow with white head. Banana, very little clove. Light in texture and wheaty. Some tartness aftertaste.

This just couldn't stand up to the Alt. This is just another hefe. The body is a pale cloudy wheat beer. It tastes like they used a legitimate hefeweizen strain of yeast, but the yeasty flavors don't come out enough. It's not a bad beer, but hefeweizens too easily go the way of blah, even when you're like me and love the style.
