Red Brick Summer Brew Hefe-weizen

aroma was a little skunky, so i was already a little concerned. flavor was typical of the style, heavy on citrus and clove with some banana. but there was a corn like flavor that reminded me of bud or PBR. not good. maybe i just had an older bottle or something. but overall i didnt like it much. better hefes out there.

Bottle... Aroma spicy, juniper berry. Light amber with creamy head. Light and lively palate with a spicy, fresh flavor.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with AtlAggie. Pours a cloudy yellow with a moderate white head that lasted through the first two sips and left scant lace. Aroma of lemon and bubblegum. The flavor is lemon, banana, and bubblegum. Very mild bitterness at the finish. Light-medium bodied. The mouthfeel is a bit odd and can best be described as a bit waxy. So so.

12 ounce bottle - $1.79 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours a clouded, though otherwise bright yellow body with a foamy, white head. Smell: Aroma of malted wheat with fruity hints of bananas and lemons with a dusting of earthy, peppery spices. Taste: Smooth malted wheat flavor in the foreground with a solid dose of table sugar for sweetening. Then, it’s fork-mashed bananas and sliced, sweet lemons with some underlying tartness. Fresh-ground additions of clove provide an unremitting spiciness. Light bitterness. Hints of fruit and spice in the final tastes. Finishes dry with some lingering clove-inoculated banana hints. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. The mouthfeel is smooth, white the carbonation provides some countering crispness. Drinkability: A pleasant, simple, reasonably refreshing wheat-based brew for summertime drinking in Atlanta.

has got a good full flavor of herbs and spices, wit ha touch of orange rind and banana, but also a touch of soap. the body feels very full a little hops. still very good though.

The aroma has bananas, cloves, bubble gum, and citrus. The appearance is hazy yellow with a foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma and fits the style well. The palate is thin but OK. Overall a nice example of the style with a little citrus twist.

12 oz bottle thanks to Unclematie. The label only says Summer Brew, not Hefe, but anyway it’s the same beer I think. A huge eruption with the pour, lots and lots of foam spilling out for about one minute. Cloudy orange and a massive white head. The aroma is light spices, citrus and lemon and light wheat. The flavor was pretty nice; light spices and grains, lemon and citrus. Easygoing and decent. The pour sucked though.

12 oz. Opaque, orange-golden with a humongous sponge of foam that requires 18 separate and careful pours, and leaves a frosty crunchy lace behind each time. Aroma of clove, light banana and bready yeast. Flavor is similar, but has more tart citrus and less banana than I like in a Hefe. Light body is acidic-tingly and dry but way too fizzy, exploding like PopRocks in the mouth.
