Commercial Description:
Our Hefeweizen is 45% malted wheat, and 55% barley malt. Much of the character of this beer comes from its unique yeast, which is not filtered out, so it tends to leave the beer cloudy. The wheat portion of this ale creates a light, crisp, dry brew perfect for drinking on a hot day. The beer is lightly hopped with Saaz, but the aroma and most of the flavor of this beer come from the wheat beer yeast. Beer Geek Stuff: Original gravity: 11.8„a Plato, final gravity 2.0„a P Lightly hopped with Mt. Hood and Saaz. Hazy white-yellow colored served unfiltered and cloudy. Brewed with 55% Vienna malt and 45% wheat malt. Fermented with authentic German wheat beer ale yeast.

22 oz. bottle purchased at Farm Fresh in Williamsburg, VA. Hazy, yellowish-orange pour with a fizzy white head. Sugary bubblegum aroma, some yeast, as well as a hint of apricot and clove (the apricot becomes more pronounced as I am drinking this). The taste is a bit lacking; no sweetness to be found only lemony citrus and some peaches (the peach flavor becomes more predominant as I am drinking this one). I can’t say that this is a bad beer; it’s actually decent (the normal good beer on a hot day crap). But as a hefeweizen it doesn’t give me what I want.

On draft at the brewery. Murky mustard pour with ring of bright white head. Nose is lightly fruity citrus which becomes more evident in the flavor, along with some banana, and black pepper. One of the better small brewery hefe’s out there.

Cloudy yellow color, big foamy head. Spicy nose with some bubblegum and wee hints of banana. Flavor is sweet bubblegum mostly. Wheat grain in the finish, and a little spicy. Interesting.

Nice cloudy orange pour with a big fluffy head. Aroma of citrus, clove, banana. Very nice taste of spices with an almost buttery quality. Very smooth. One of the best examples of the style I’ve had.

22oz bomber. Hazy orange tan color with a fluffy, quickly diminishing head. Sweet minty clove aroma, fresh and nice. Very pleasant on the palate, with some solid lemony-clove taste. Some hop character comes through, giving it a nice balance. Light to medium-bodied, very refreshing with a lemony sweet mild astringency. Better than expected, this is a quality product.

Bomber from Once Upon a Vine, Richmond. Very pale and hazy pour, body looks perilously thin. Soft nose with yeast and banana, but more ripe and less sweet than is sometimes the case. Flavor’s not quite up to snuff, with things getting a bit watery and indistinct. A bit more earthy and organic, and consequently just a bit preferable to other middle of the road wheats. But nothing at all memorable.

22 oz bottle poured cloudy light straw color. Banana in the aroma. Black pepper in the flavor. Some clove too. Nice lunch beer.
