Left Coast Duck Dive Hefe

Brewed by Left Coast/Oggis Pizza and Brewing Company
Style: German Hefeweizen
Del Mar, California USA

On draft at Oggi’s Del Mar. Hefe is not my favorite - but I do like a good one... this is not a good one. I thought the aftertaste was oddly bitter.

Sample at the Santa Clarita location. Served with a lemon. This brew is a hazy dark yellow color with a thin bone white head that fizzes away quickly. Thin ring of lacing on the glass. The aroma is wheaty with touches of fruit and malt. Light-bodied with a sweet fruit and wheat character. Mild yeast is in the background. The finish is round and wheaty with a mild spice aftertaste. Barely average overall.

on tap-pours a dissipating white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is musty wheat, cream, faint yeast. Taste is sweet musty wheat, cream, faint yeast, bready. Soft carbonation. Nice.

(Sampler @ Oggi’s Peoria, AZ): Pours a non-cloudy radiant yellow color. Small white head. Malty aroma, but not much else. Light orangey, malty taste. Refreshing. Somewhat fizzy mouthfeel. Somewhat tasty.

new brew on tap @ scottsdale location...pours an almost clear orange shade of gold with no head. pale malty aroma has a bit of brown sugar, lemon and wheat. alcohol comes through in the flavor along with pale malt, wheat, yeasty spiciness, straw and a dry grassy hoppiness. finishes dry. cheap wheat bread and light yeast present in the aftertaste. light to medium body and medium carbonation.
