Olde Towne Hefe Weizen

Brewed by Olde Towne Brewing Company
Style: German Hefeweizen
Huntsville, Alabama USA

Draft sample from growler at NOOGFEST09. Poured clear yellow color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly diminished with good lacing. Moderate wheat, banana and clove aroma. Medium body with smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium smooth sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. This is a good session beer and my first Alabama beer.

#01 - Amerikaner Blind-Smagning 12-Jun-2009 hos Papsoe. Bottle. Cloudy yellow - white head. Wheaty, orange, coriander, classic hefeweizen, citrus, metallic, fruity, yeasty, plain. Thin body.

The beer pours to a shiny 18k gold body with a soapy white head. Nice luminosity and carbonation. The aroma is sweet and wheaty with a light tangy lemon and orange. Some cloves. The flavor is wheaty with some sweet grassy hops. The palate is light and crisp but has a filtered texture. The beer is pretty decent, but Dave’s home brewed Hefe I had the other night was better.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet wheaty with an edge of acidity. The flavor is sweet again with a light acidity and notes of wheat combined with lighter notes of citrus, leading to a dry wheaty finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of brentfeesh. Hazy yellow with a small, rough white head. Aroma of yeast and phenols. Thin and watery, very low in carbonation, mainly just yeasty with none of your typical Hefe esters apart from the phenollic finish. Poor. 120609
