Stoudts Heifer-in-Wheat

Brewed by Stoudts Brewing Co.
Style: German Hefeweizen
Adamstown, Pennsylvania USA

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Tallahassee, Fl. - Liquor Loft - 12 oz bottle. Medium orange pour instantaneous bubbly white head disappears quickly. Yeasty aroma with lots of cloves. Atypical hefe flavor with some estery notes, bananas, cloves and plenty of bubblegum. Solid, but nothing outstanding. Thick, enticing mouthfeel.

Strong aroma of bananas with this hefe, it pours a slightly hazy golden, with a quickly fading head. Nice flavors of yeast, wheat, and just enough banana hints to balance it out. Seems a bit lighter in palate then I was expecting, and the carbonation seems to be a bit lower then usual for the style. Overall, this is a very drinkable session beer, and one that I’ll probably try to keep some on hand for a good introduction to craft beer for new drinkers.

Murky gold color with surprisingly little head. Strangely under carbonated. A pretty typical hefeweizen with the ubiquitous esters of bubble gum and banana. I wish there was a little more carbonation in this.

The aroma is typical for the style with cloves, bananas, and bubble gum. It also has some yeast and malt. The flavor is like the aroma. The appearance is golden and almost clear. It’s too clear for a hefe. The palate is thin. This one just doesn’t impress me but it’s still decent.

bottle: pours a very light straw solour with no head. aroma is sweet with wheat, yeast, fruity character, some bubblegum. flavour is very soft, yeasty some wheat with a spice finish. the palate is very lively.

Hazy, gold appearance with a medium size white head and modest lacing. Yeasty aroma, with the typical esters that are true to the style. Smooth, well rounded, medium bodied mouthfeel with lively carbonation. Malty, fruity, relatively sweet, spicy taste. Tart, dry, short lived finish.
