Union Barrel Works Hefeweizen

at brewpub for a beer dinner event. Poured hazy yellow in color with a thin white head. Aroma of wheat, and light lemon. Tastes of wheat, light fruity esters, slight notes of smoked malts (bizarre), cloves.

Draught at the BrewPub: Faint wheat aroma. Poured pale yellow in color with a small, white head that lasted only as a film on top of the beer. Hazy. Not sparkling. Tastes of wheat, yeast, slight spices, and a hint of lemon. Light body. Lightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Tasteless finish. A poor example of a Hefe.

on tap @Stoudts Invitational-pours a white head with bubbles and hazy straw color. Aroma is musty wheat. Taste is musty, banana/clove, wheat, lemon.

Unimpressive straw color with a ring of head. Lovely yeasty bouquet of phenolics, with banana and clove. Slightly on the light-bodied side and absent effervesence, but enjoyable mild phenolic flavors.

Hazy gold color - thin head and aroma of orange peel, banana, a little spice. Flavor is fairly sweet, fruity and clean. Slightly spicy at the finish. Not bad on a hot night.

Cloudy golden color with a small head. Aroma has some sweet wheaty-banana to it along with coriander and assorted spices. Flavor is sweet with some wheat, coriander, and banana. Light and a bit plain. Average Hefe.

Consumed at Union Barrel Works, July 2007
Golden in color, not cloudy, only hazy. Candied banana esters and candy sugar nose. Pale and a bit empty flavor, with a pasty, bland and stale paper flavor almost. Empty palate, dull, reminds me of these so-called American Wheats, lightly sweet and sugary, bit overall bland, simple and underwhelming.
