Olde Towne Hefe Weizen

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

Draft. Have this at home in my kegerator right now. This and the Porter are Olde Towne’s best offerings by far. This brew has a nice orange/yellow cloudy appearance, banana/vanilla taste on the palate is not too overwhelming. The brew has nice body and good head off draft. This brew is a good local brew, especially if you like Hefe’s -- this really is a good one.

NIce banana clove aroma. High carb levels as apppropriate for this style. Good clove spiceyness in the flavor. Compared it with several others at Music City Brewer’s Festival and found it to be the best of the Hefe’s. A highly quaffable beer.

Pours a very cloudy orange. The aroma is full-on wheat with a not-fully-ripe banana and some spiciness. The flavor is surprisingly tart, but not in a foul way. Not bad.

Pours a hazy pumpkin orange color with no head. The aroma has moderate hefe notes of wheat, lemons, bananas and spices (cinnamon and clove). Not overly sweet to the nose and fairly well balance (i.e., none of the aromas are overpowering). The flavor has light bananas at first with a light fruit/candy sweetness (light and fleeting) moving to a banana lingering sweetness marked by cinnamon and clove. Decent body. Not too cloying or sticky. Lingering and medium. Pretty good really.

Pours a hazy golden orange. Aromas of bread/bananas/ and some fruit. Had a taste of yeasty bread with some spice.

Pours a cloudy golden amber in color with a small, tight white head. Nice hefe aroma of bananas and citrusy hops. The flavor is sweet malt with a very tangy citrus thing going on. Very tangy. But not unpleasantly so. Refreshing and smooth, similar to their bock in that there’s almost an oily slickness left on the palate, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s definitely a tasty brew.

On tap at Buffalos Wild Wings, Huntsville. Pours a coudy yellow with just a wisp of a head. Reserved nose of banana, clove, straw an citrus. Taste is refreshing with clove and banana notes predominantly on the tongue with subtle hints of vanilla and hops. So far the best offering from Olde Towne I’ve had.

On Tap in Huntsville: Pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma has hints of citrus, lemon and banana. Initial flavor is a sweet and tangy with a light bitter vanilla finish. A refreshing brew for the summer months ahead.
