San Juan Eichenberger Hefeweizen

Brewed by San Juan Brewing Company
Style: German Hefeweizen
Friday Harbor, Washington USA

Pacific Northwest Vacation 2007

8/26/2007: San Juan Eichenberger Hefeweizen is a cloudy gold color with a small white crown and a moderate amount of carbonation. The aroma has some banana, Belgian-like fruity malt, and is spicy. The flavor is slightly sweet like candy with fruity flavors and a hip of hop bitterness in the finish. This medium-light beer is easy to drink, but tastes more like a Belgian Golden Ale than a German Hefe.

4 oz draught sample (4.9% Alc By Wt, #1046, OG 1.060) at the Front Street Ale House in Friday Harbor, Washington. Rating #2 for this beer...

bananas, blah, crisp, blah, unoriginal, blah, bubblegum finish.....when you taste bubblegum in a hefe, you know you are at a brewpub.
