Piece Top Heavy Hefeweizen

Brewed by Piece Brewery & Pizzeria
Style: German Hefeweizen
Chicago, Illinois USA

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy dark golden color with a huge white head filling the hefe glass. The intense sulfur aroma of the yeast was my favorite thing about the beer. It has a strong banana finish to it. Yummy.

On tap @ the brewpub. Hazy yellow in colour with a rather large white head. Typical german style hefeweizen. Too sweet for me. Banana and yeast notes.

Chicago Trip. Monday 12:24. On tap at the brewpub. Cloudy orange. Light white foam and lacing. Big banana nose with orange notes around the edge. Refreshing banana notes. Dusty yeast finish.

Draught during my Dark Lord excursion. Pours an extra cloudy yellow with a nice white head. There’s a strong, sweet banana presence and light cloves with a little bit of wood in the aroma. Nicely rich and refreshing in the way of flavor. Sweet banana, yeasty flavors and a tasty spiced note hit the palate up front, but it doesn’t finish quite as juicy. The brew falls on a papery, husky flavor. Pretty nice though. I thought it was just as good as many authentic German examples and I also liked the slightly heavier palate.

On tap.
Pours a cloudy straw yellow with virtually no head or carbonation. Tart vegetal aroma is over the top and smells of rotting plant matter. Fortunately, it tastes a lot better than it smells, with all the appropriate hefe characteristics there in spades -- lemony citrus, fresh bread, banana, and an extra dose of spicy clove. Medium body and surprisingly lively palate. A great-tasting hefe that misses that mark aesthetically.

Nice dark amber & cloudy pour. Plenty of strong wheat aroma with fruity scents. Nice malty profile with spices. Surprisingly good beer from a place I had never heard of. Thanks to my little sister for introducing me to Piece!

On tap at Piece. This was an unexpectedly great beer! Poured a deeper hazy golden with a cap of white head. Nose was ideal for a hefe... bananas, tart wheaty notes, some pale malts, and peppery spices. Flavor followed suit, adding a candy-like sweetness and deeper spices.. really enjoyed it. Sweet malts were well-balanced with tart notes and spices. Rather heavily-bodied for the style. Really good stuff!

Hazy golden pour. Big citrusy nose. Flavors of cut grass, lemons, banana, bubblegum, cloves, pepper, and yeast. Exceptionally refreshing on a warm summer day. Well done.
