Flying Dog In-Heat Wheat Hefeweizen

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: German Hefeweizen
Frederick, Maryland USA

A- Pours a very cloudy light orange hue, head is small, white, creamy and mostly diminishing, fair lacing on the glass S- Very sweet aroma characterized by bananas, wheat, and the slightest of citrus/lemon fumes, overall a bit underwhelming T- The taste is fairly light and initial tones of sweet, almost syrupy banana and pine hops dominate, transitions to some yeasty and wheat malts and finishes with a sweet pineapple tinge that quickly dissipates M- Light/medium-bodied wheat ale, light and watery texture, unassuming finish D- Very smooth and easy drinking wheat ale that has a bit more sweetness than others in this genre (I kept thinking "Pina Colada"), nothing really stands out with this ale and not being a huge fan of this style, I probably won’t pick it up again in the future.

Pours a dirty dishwater brownish murky gold color with a poorly developed head. Aroma of apple, banana and something akin to apricots. Flavour of banana, yeast, and a bit of lemon and malt. Decent, run of the mill type hefe.

Yellow-orange pout with a white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, and citrus. A little disappointing, not as drinkable as I had hoped. Smooth medium body.

Pours a cloudy copper with no head. Smell is subdued, but not abnormal for a hefe. Flavor balanced, smooth, and perhaps a bit watery. Slightly salty and finishes with flavors of orange and clove. There’s nothing wrong with it, but In heat wheat is not exceptional.

12 oz.bottle. Pours a thinnish head of poor duration over a cloudy honey yellow body with plentiful yeast residue ......nose of bread, with multiple spices such as clove as well as citrus dominating....tastes of wheat, spice, lemon, with a tart finish....mouthfeel is medium, with light carbonation. This is a good example of the style.

Poured a dark, murky yellow with a white head and decent lacing. Smells of lemon and wheat - I din’t pick up as much banana as some have indicated - but a slight scent was there. The taste was of lemon, spice, and was crisp and very drinkable. Not a bad beer at all.

Lots of fruit flavor, especially banana, and some citrus. Sweet fruitiness more than anything else, with a yeasty finish. Some clove is noticable.

Bottle from Del Cerro Liquor. Hazy light orange in color. Sweet fruity aroma with moderate yeastiness. Yeast and spices seem to dominate the flavors. Slightly sour, but not a terrible hefe.
