Crescent City Weiss

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

(On tap) Hazy orangey golden with a small, off-white head. Neutral aroma, completely lacking all fruity esters. Medium body with a vague tartness and absolutely no fruit. Instead you get some fusty accents. A good Hefe is hard to brew - Crescent City misses by far. 270306

Draft... Very cloudy, straw-colored ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Good retention. The nose is full of banana and bubblegum with hints of lemon and sourdough. Very well-balanced, tangy, refreshing flavor. Underripe banana. Light-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Medium-length, tart and tangy finish. Their best offering!

on tap-pours a thin white ring for a head and hazy straw color. Aroma is mild lemon, yeast, wheat. Taste is tart lemon, barnyard, clove/slight metallic.

Good bananas, clovers, and spices…A quaffable weiss…

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

Looked like orange juice, without the pulp. HUGE banana sweetness in the flavor and aroma; clove follows closely behind. Smooth and soft on the tongue with a mild carbonation. Very light bitterness attempts to complement the sweetness. Overall, a rather tasty beer.

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).

Very light aroma dominated by banana. Hazy. Belgian-style yeast flavor, over a prominent though indistinct fruit. Moderately sweet, fizzy, nice bittering. Body goes a little watery after an initial good mouthfeel.
