Olde Auburn Hefeweizen

Brewed by Olde Auburn Ale House (AL)
Style: German Hefeweizen
Auburn, Alabama USA

Appearance: Lightly hazy, golden body with a small, fizzy, white head. Smell: Very sharp banana and clove aroma. Goodness gracious, me. Taste: Sweetish wheat flavor with more bananas, more cloves, and a little hint of citrus. Not much in the way of bitterness or hop character. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: I’d have preferred a more subtler banana and clove ester character, but that’s just me.
