Redhook Hefe-Weizen

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale
Woodinville, Washington USA

Bit yeasty/astringent aroma, nice wheat beer aromas. Cloudy (unfiltered) butterscotch amber - tiny head. Smooth, light carb with medium body. Many different flavor elements but not all meshed - hit you one at a time. Wheaty (though more like an American wheat, not German). Astringent finish and after, though pleasant.

Golden hue. WHite head dissipates very quickly. Light grain aroma. Different, by no means a real hefe-weizen. Sweet first, light bodied, bitter lingering finish. Im not too impressed.

I can’t find any major flaws with it. My only reluctance to give it a perfect score is that its still a an American adaptation of a Hefe-Weizen, not the real thing. However, for the price, availability and effort they’ve put in, its a great beer.

A tasty beer, but can’t compare with a real hefe wizen.

Flowery aroma, creamy head with a good cloudy appearance. Even had pellet sized residue at the bottom of the glass. Good full bodied sweet flavor. Strong finish - goes down smooth.

Thoroughly enjoyable, except the people who were kind enough to give it to me said it was good with a lemon and i felt bad declining the citrus so I accepted both. I’ll have to have it again w/o the lemon to get the real experience.

Hazy yellow/gold colour w/ big head that dissipated quickly. Fruity aroma w/ hints of banana and citrus. Medium-thin body w/ a slight spritz. Not a lot of flavour up front. A little thin and watery. Nice dry, grassy, earthy finish, though,and a little bitterness

This hefeweizen is a session beer if ever there was one. Very easy to drink. the hops are just apparent in the flavor and the wheat finishes it off very nicely. it does not have as much flavor and aroma as many more traditional hefes have but that is ok this time.
