Flyers Heat Seeker Hefe

Brewed by Flyers Restaurant & Brewery
Style: German Hefeweizen
Oak Harbor, Washington USA

Cloudy orange yellow color. The aroma is sweet and wheaty with a nice banana nose too. Banana, clove, sweet wheat, with a light hoppy bitter finish.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Sweet wheat malty citrus aroma with some banana hints. Sweetis wheat malty citrus and banana flavor. Has a slightly sweet wheat malty finish with hints of citrus and bananas in the aftertaste.

On tap at the brewpub, pours a hazy yellowish color. Nothing much in the nose, no real strong flavors either. Lack of bananas and cloves, kinda corny, not my favorite.

On tap at brewpub. Cloudy, light yellow. Wheat and a little citrus. Very little banana. Lots of wheat. Medium bodied.

Very opaque - almost white from the yeast. The head is very foamy, like college kegger swill in a plastic cup sort of foamy. The aroma is assertive - papaya, banana, marshmallow. The body is reasonably full for the style, with soft but insistent carbonation. Sweetish flavour, a little bland with vague fruity, spicy notes. Finishes with a hint of acidity but mainly a vague marshmallowy sweetness.

I had to rate this beer for my dad! He loves this beer and I like it during the summer, or when I need quick refreshment. This beer has a fruity aroma, with notes of banana and clove perhaps. Retains pretty nice head through the finish.
