Crescent City Weiss

Brewed by Crescent City Brewery
Style: German Hefeweizen
New Orleans, Louisiana USA

Pours a hazy gold with a nice white head. Smells of oranges and bubblegum. Tastes of cloves, lemons, some coriander and a tarte finish.

I am not a huge fan of hefeweisens, so i say i liked this. all the traditional spicy/banananess was very understated... good to me but maybe bad to style. I thought this was very drinkable.

On tap at the Crescent City Brewhouse, NO. Hazy but OK for style. Clove and bannana aroma and flavor from the yeast. Little more then i desire. fruity/spicy finish. I perfer their pilsner.

On tap at the Crescent City Brewhouse. Foggy yellow color (typical Hefeweizen) with a fizzy white quick-dissipating head. Nose of citrus, banana, orange and clove. Taste was just like the nose: fruits and clove, with an obvious and punchy emphasis on the clove. Spicy/sweet finish. A nice Hefeweizen.

Crescent City Weiss 7-3-6-3-12 Sample Tasting - Deep yellow with nice white head. Aroma of spices, wheat, banana, lemon, cloves. Same flavors. Sweet.... well balanced. * * *

A better effort than the first two on the sampler. Not an awesome beer, but relatively true to style. Apparently, the brewmaster’s fear of malt and hops doesn’t extend to malted wheat. Not fantastic but not actually bad.

On Tap at Crescent City New Orleans Pours out a hazy yellow topped with a white head. A great aroma of bananas and spice. Tast more of the banana and spice. I also picked up some clove. This was the best brew from Crescent City hands down. A very well done German Hef.

This and the pilsener were the only untainted beers of the night. I was surprised to see this noted as a german hefe, as it came across as a nicely made American-style wheat. Hazy, pale straw in appearance with a big foamy white head. Wheaty with a mild citrus note and a slightly tangy finish. Refreshing and very nice (for an American wheat, but misses the mark as a hefe).
