Jan 2, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy orangish body with a small fizzy white head. The nose is rather off, there’s a lot of spoiled garbage juice going on. There is some actual wheat and yeastiness, but my nose just can’t get past those off notes. There’s more weirdness going on in the flavor. None of the yeast character that you’d expect from a Hefe, just lots of murky graininess and cooked veggies. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and a little heavy with moderate fizzy carbonation. Just a murky mess all in all. Why can’t there be more decent examples from US brewers of such a basic style?

Sep 10, 2008 12 oz. bottle. A bit darker yellow than the average hefe; bubbly head that dissipates quickly. First nose impression is of orange, then clove. That clove and orange stays around in the taste, gives it a different character that I kind of like. Good-sized malt bill adds to color and taste. Some hefe banana esters come in after that. A more defined sharp German hop profile than I usually get with hefes, too. Some yeast taste toward the bottom, though there’s no sediment to suggest bottle conditioning. Different and interesting.
