Left Hand Haystack Wheat

Brewed by Left Hand Brewing Co.
Style: German Hefeweizen
Longmont, Colorado USA

Poured golden with a small white head. The nose was cloves, spices, and bananas.Flavor was bland.Nothing really popped here.Finished off leaving a strange aftertaste in my mouth.

Hazed gold, fizzy white head. Soft vanilla citrus nose lays on a wheaty banana clove base. Crisp citric banana spice flavors round to a light bitter ending. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Decent and pretty refreshing...

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass, swirled last 3oz and dumped in glass. Aroma is dominated by orange and banana, very pleasing. Appearance? It’s a cloudy hefe! Dark straw in color. Mouthfeel is nice with a high levels of carbonation as appropriate to style. Poured a wonderful head that dissipated in about a minute. Overall taste is decent. I like a little more orange tatse in my hefes. It tatses like it could be fermented slightly higher in temperature to bring this out. Overall, a very nice american hefe, especially for national distribution in a bottle.

A so so attempt at the style. I don’t think American brewers every really nail this style, but this came close. Aroma was nice. Banana and a little clove. Pour was a thick dirty gold with a thin white ring for a head. Taste was wheaty and grainy with a slight yeast bite. Thick and bubbly with a bite on the sides of the tongue. Not as full or carbonated as true German hefe but nice.

A true to style pour with a cloudy orange body and puffy white head. The head diminishes considerably leaving a 1/2" thick cap and good lacing. Calm, pleasant aroma of citrus and banana, with clove and nutmeg accents. Crisp, snappy, and quenching. Finishes a little thinner than I like, but the aftertaste is smooth and clean. Very good flavor, true to style although a bit underwhelming compared to the German originals. Plenty of banana with some lemon zest. Dry wheat that adds a touch of grainy/grassy flavor. Clove, nutmeg, and a hint of pepper spice. Take the label off and I would be hard pressed to differentiate this from an authentic Hefeweizen.

bottled, pours mildly cloudy golden with nice big white head, nice aroma of wheat/citrus/yeast, citrus up front of palate with lingering malt/wheat combo with mild spice in the end, nothing over powering here, nice blend of flavors

Pours a cloudy golden color with little to no head. Nice aroma with appropriate fruitiness and a wheat undertone. Nice crisp flavor with a nice hint of orange zest. Finishes clean. Nice for what it is and very drinkable for summer.

this was another pretty good hefe. Not as good as shells but still tasty. poured a pale yellow, a bit cloudy. Aroma was pleasing and slightly fruity. Taste had some banana, and some spice at the end. A well made hefe i woudl say. go grab some
