BuckeyeSammy (397), New York City, New York, USA Jun 22, 2008 Tasting at JoeMcphee’s. Unfiltered yellow. Meaty yeast nose. Clean mouthfeel, spicy carbonation. Yeast throughout. Good Hefe.
Wasatch (171), Layton, Utah, USA Oct 25, 2008 Poured into a Ayinger glass a nice cloudy golden orange/yellow color, nice carbonation, nice three finger creamy white head which lasted a little while, then left some sticky lacing. The nose is malty, nice touch of yeast, spicey, cloves, and banannas. The taste is fabulous, mostly malts, wheat, yeast, cloves, and some banannas. Nice slightly dry finish. Medium body. Very drinkable, this is an exceptional Hefe, the best I’ve had to date, hands down. An excellent thirst quencher for a hot day in Utah. Highly recommended.
BlackForestCO (624), Fort Collins and Black Forest, Colorado, USA Oct 24, 2008 Tap. Poured a hazy straw-yellow color with a moderate fluffy white head that stuck around for a while. Aroma is mostly clove and banana with some light citrus, a light spiciness, and some dough. Flavor consists of a moderate wheatiness with some doughy malts, a strong clove spiciness, some banana and light citrus that finishes with a moderate yeastiness. Rather creamy on the palate. Definitely a good hefeweizen. maniac (2023), Richmond, Virginia, USA Aug 9, 2008 On tap at Flying Saucer - Houston on 07/27/08. Cloudy orange yellow body with a small creamy white head.
