Pike Weisse

[1093-20080216] Tap @ Pike brewpub (Seattle, WA). Yeasty bread aroma with a hint of sweet spice. Clear, orange light red body with a quick foamy white head. More yeasty bread in the flavour with a bit of sweet alcohol. Light medium body. Nice, uneventful.

Draught at Pike. Pours a dark gold color. Does not look unfiltered. Thin head. Aroma of wheat malt and cereal. The flavor is much of the same. Pretty bland and light. A decent crisp finish is probably the highlight of this one.

Draught sample. Has more of an American wheat profile. Good wheaty aroma with bit of yeasty tang and mild citrus. Hazy amber with thin lacing head. Medium-light body with heavy carbonation. Starts with tangy wheat, mild citrus notes and dusty grain. Decent. Light hoppy finish, kind of dry, with dry acidic after.

Draught sampler at the brewpub. Slightly hazy light gold. Light body. Mild spice and yeast in the nose and flavour. Very mellow, needs more... something. Just lacks character, I guess.

On tap at Pike Pub, Seattle. Filtered wheat beer. Gold/orange with beige head. Cereal/lemon aroma. Dull weisse, bit bland, syrupy in mouth. Where’s the lemon/herb/banana. A little bubblgum and some hop on end.

tap at the brewpub - Pours lightly hazy and yellow with a faint yeast and citrus aroma. The flavor is light and sweet with maybe a hint of citrus. The body was too thin. The finish was clean. I agree with some others that this was kind of disappointing for a hefeweizen, but it’s not bad.

On tap at Pike Pub: Yellow and clear in color, lemon citrus aroma. Light mouthfeel but very well carbonated. Yeasty and citrussy flavors, not very wheaty. Crisp finish.
