Flossmoor Station King Hefeweizen

Brewed by Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery
Style: German Hefeweizen
Flossmoor, Illinois USA

Clear yellow, lumpy white lacing. Estery floral aroma, banana and clove. Taste is more estery, spiciness, very floral and sweet, bananas.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear gold color with a little cloudiness and a white head that leaves some lace. Aroma of banana, wheat, yeast, and clove, although more muted than a lot of hefes. The flavor follows suit well, with some lemon citrus present along with malts and subtle floral notes. Very mild spices also. Light-medium bodied, with a bready mouthfeel and big banana finish. Good hefeweizen.

Hazed golden pour with big white head and loads of foam. The latter gives off a really huge load of banana aroma (too much?) Banana upfront in the flavor, creamy texture, a ton of spicy hefe yeasty esters make this a pretty good Octoberfest offering.

On tap at the FS Oktoberfest - This poured a hazy straw body with a fluffy white head. The aroma was a mix of fresh and very ripe bananas with a light spiciness, wheat bread, and a twist of lemon. The flavor carried all that, but the spices seemed to intensify, tasting almost cookie like. Very tasty hefe. Too bad the day was so dismal, leaving me wanting a barley wine....

On tap at Oktoberfest at the station. Pours hazy pale gold with white head. Aroma is banana, clove, lemon, yeast and bready malts. Flavor is much the same with banana and clove with touch of citrus and yeast that is rounded out with bready malts. Mouthfeel was a little thick but had a nice spice note to it. Solid hefe.

hazy yellow, small white head, lacy. nose of spicy bananas. bananas and spice and all things nice (but i don’t like banana beer). medium bodied, banana after-taste. bananas in the nose, flavor and finish are two bananas too many for me. cornfield poured me some of his at flossmoor station octoberfest. on tap at brewpub.

Draft on tap at the Oktoberfest celebration (Flossmoor, IL). Pours a nice wheaty gold, well hazed, with a decent white head that dies to a good film, laces pretty well. Aromas are a good estery banana, cloves don’t dominate this, a touch lemon, yeasty, flaked wheat, decent sweetness. Overall, solid and fresh. Initial is sessionable, a moderate sweetness of fruity banana and light lemon ester, a touch of cloves, a touch floral. Bready and flaked wheat malts provide maltiness, a faint spice with with good flavors and sessionability. Nothing cloying about this. Touch of vanilla, faint honey. I love a good fresh Hefe, and this beer is very good for it’s purpose. More spicy than most. Cheers!
