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.

Draft... ODBF2006... Cloudy, yellow ale with a small, frothy, white head. Citrusy nose with soft notes of banana, clove, smoke and green apple. Ripe banana, citrus fruit and clove in the flavor. Medium-bodied and creamy with fizzy carbonation. Crisp, clean finish. Not a favorite style of mine, but refreshing on a hot, humid day!

Sampled at Old Dominion Brewfest ’06. Pours cloudy golden with a white head. Nice fruity estery nose of banana and clove. Flavor has the same notes as the aroma plus some zesty lemon/citrus and bubblegum. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Enjoyable.

Tap at the brewpub. Clouded dark yellow with a thin white head. Lemon slice! WTF?? O.k. suck it up the world doesn’t cater to you, and a lot of folks like it, so be a big boy and get past it. Strong roast clove & banana spice nose. Sweet flavor with a bit of lemon and ending in an alcohol and clove banana yeast tang. The food was great-bourbon st. medley- the beer is only a little less so. Ap-3 ar-6 tas-6 pal-2 ov-14

Poured a hazy light yellow with a small white head. Wheaty aroma giving off citrusy notes. Fair amount of clove and other spices. Light banana notes. The flavor was dull compared to the aroma. Light sweet malt and citrus. Dry finish. Light to medium bodied.

<!-- i -->Capital Ale House Downtown<!-- /i --> -- Nice golden body, somewhat cloudy as typical of this style, light white head. Nice citrus aroma with some light yeast accents. Good body, light wheat accents and some citurs flavoring. Plain ending, nothing too noticable. Decient hefe... a good benchmark for this style.
