One of the best American beers of any style. Definitely world class. They nailed the style, I followed this with a Hacker-Pschorr and they are equals. The only good American Weiss I have tried (yet).

At the Brick in DC. Delicious; an outstanding example. Sweet, cloudy, hefty, wheat sour perfect, banana, vanilla, all in incredible proportions. Matches Two Brothers Ebel and Capital Weizen in US, beaten out by Denison’s version...by a hair. Bottled 8/13/02.

Draft at Mission American Kitchen, Minneapolis. Slightly perfumed aroma but no overtly perfumed notes in the flavor. An excellent and in my opinion very authentic domestic German-style hefe weizen, with typical complex flavors of banana, clove, citrus, and spice. Palate lacks overall creaminess; texture degrades to over-carbonation through the finish. Bitterness is as expected for the style; just enough to ensure it still tastes like a beer. I didn’t think anyone in America was making great European beers like this... Kudos Left Hand!
