Muskoka Hefe Weissbier

Brewed by Lakes of Muskoka Cottage Brewery
Style: German Hefeweizen
Bracebridge, Canada

Acquired in a trade with matt7215. Canned hefeweisse? Weird, but ok let’s go with it. Pours a pale yellow with a fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma of cloves and coriander fill the room as the beer pours. The aroma is intensely spicy with bubblegum, banana, yeast and that wheat twang. The taste has a lot of spice as well, but with an earthy banana kick. The clove is a little over done and is quite cloying. This beer would be decent on a golf course, but it’s 35 below right now... Not the best hefeweisse. But not terrible. Thanks Matt!

473ml can. Pours clear pale amber with almost no head. Nose is spicy, lots of wheat some fruits and a bit citrusy, Hints of coriander and orange peel. Taste is spicy coriander and citrusy. Wheat, and a bit fruity. Finish is mellow wheat and a bit citrusy. Overall nice beer. Nothing really.

[2591-20091118] 473mL can. Citrus orange wheat aroma with a bit of fresh banana. Hazy, dark orange body with a quick foamy off-white head. More citrus wheat in the flavour with vanilla heather notes, lots of banana and hints of cloves. Medium body. Really interesting, lots of fruit.

473 ml can courtesy of a trade with Boutip. Pours a hazy gold with a moderate linen white head that vaporized before I took my first sip and left no lace. Pleasant aroma of banana along with some cloves and just a bit of bubblegum. The flavor is banana (less so than the aroma) along with some grain and a touch of clove. Some slight sourness to the flavor as well. No bitterness to speak of at the finish. Problem-free beer.

Orangey gold with thin lacing. Coriander, citrus, and some spice. A little dull in the aroma. Smooth, slightly tangy finish. Solid effort overall.
