Weeping Radish Hefeweizen

Brewed by Weeping Radish Farm Brewery
Style: German Hefeweizen
Jarvisburg, North Carolina USA

Very sweat, but not in a fake way. I felt like I was drinking a true german hefe. Maybe it was the atmosphere at the Brewpub. Very cool. Loved the old homeland music.

lightly hazed light yellow with a fizzy white head. banana juice nose. sweet and clean banana flavor. a nice quencher, and an enjoyable brew, thanks for the bottle, brent.

This is a true to style German hefeweizen. Excellent phenolics, with the accent slightly on the clove phenolic. Crisp, refreshing, well-balanced carbonation to favor profile. Good residual yeast in the 12-ounce bottle. Fantastic summer quencher, extremely drinkable.

From notes 11/10/02: A fairly brilliant yellow color. Did not retain much head at all. Rather fruity aromas present, especially banana? A typical yeasty weizen, cloudy and hazy. The drinkability was OK, the taste not being one of my favorites, but the aromas and smells were pretty impressive to me.

Bottle courtesy of Brentfeesh: Poured a slightly hazy golden yellow beer with a nice medium foamy head with average retention. Aroma of wheat with some subtle sour and lactose note. Taste included a good dose of wheat with some sweetness but there is still a small sour and lactose feel in the aftertaste that bothers me. Slightly below your average weizen with probably a small infection.

I poured this one into one of my weisse glasses. That revealed that this was a little small (not 0,5 l), was a little too clear and a bit over-carbonated. But other than that they captured the style. Big banana and clove aroma, bananas and oranges in the palate and the sour yeasty taste.

On tap at the brewery. Mild and flavorless. Well, at least the atmoshphere of this place was cool.

Purchased at the brew pub in Mateo. 12 oz bottle. Pours very clear for a Hefe. Orange-onion skin color. Pleasant highly sweet aroma of banana and clove. The flavor is strong with banana ice cream, clove and a relatively high sweetness (some of my friends could not stand it) that I found tolerable-even enjoyable-if not powerful. The body’s creaminess pushes through the carbonation. Interesting and not bad. I had 5-6 of their beer at the brewery but only rate the one I purchased as I was having too much fun drinking. All the beers I had there were drinkable.
