J.T. Whitneys Heartland Weiss

Aroma of gumball and yeast. Cloudy yellow orange, thin white head, no lace. Flavor is mostly gumball, well complemented by banana, coriander, pepper. Yeasty finish. Sharp carbonation.

On tap at the brewpub. Cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of clove, banana and light yeast. Taste of banana, clove and light citrus. Seems a little over carbonated and finishes a little too astringent.

Pours a light cloudy golden colour with a medium sized white head. Aroma is semi sweet, wheat, bananna, mangoe and ginger. Taste is a little lighter then i would have expected, creamy on the palate, a little undercarbonated, but overall good beer.

Served on draught at the Wisconsin Micro-brewers Beerfest in Chilton, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-hazy golden light amber brew with a thin white head that quickly dissipates to a thin white ring. Aroma of hefe style light multi-grain malt with wheat, some banana esters, cloves and a touch of cotton candy. Taste is medium bodied, some light carbonation with flavors of wheat malt with other crystal grains, some banana esters, yeast with a touch of lemon zest. Finish is semi-sweet with a fast disappearing banana and clove aftertaste.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a hazy yellow orange color. Head was thin and white. Not much nose other than a bit of banana. Banana made a second appearance in the flavor along with some citrus. There was also and odd smoky/meaty note, almost like bacon.

On tap at the brewpub on 6/22/07: Pours a hazy golden with a wispy white ring of head. Lightly wheaty lemon citrus aroma has a touch of bready yeast and clove. Body starts fairly full and lightly sweet, but thins and dries out toward the finish. Needs a little more body, but has the right yeasty character.

sampler @ bewery--- again, better than expected--tastes of apple and banana, more mellow than most weiss. Very smooth finish. A favorite amongst our group of six, many of who are not weiss fans.
