Commercial Description:
This Northwest style Hefeweizen is light-bodied, pale amber in color, fruity and refreshing, with a malty wheat character. The flavor is light and crisp with a touch of malt sweetness. Whistling Pig Wheat is unfiltered, with the classic cloudy appearance which characterizes the best Hefeweizens brewed in the Great Pacific Northwest. Whistle Pigs are marmots, small furry critters who live in the high country all around Leavenworth, WA, with especially high concentrations in nearby Whistling Pig Meadow.

Tap... Poured foggy yellow/orange with a thin head. Aroma of yeast strains and sour/tart fruit. Pretty straight forward and what you’d expect from an American interpretation of a German Hefeweizen. Sweet banana and clove flavors mixed with citrus hops and yeast.

Draft at Jazz Alley. Pours a cloudy, toffeeish ambery orange with a thick tannish head that sticks around for a little bit...but not forever. Smells sweetly malty and cerealy, a little like a distant cousin to Apple Jacks but with some breadiness in there. Creamy, grainy medium body. Starts off sweet, almost caramely, but then fizzles into not much at all on the finish. As it warms, takes on an iced tea note in the finish. Meh.

(Draught) Sampled at Taphouse in Seattle. A rather expensive sampler at $9.95 for four 4-ounce samples. Cloudy gold. Nose is wheaty and tonic. Metallic flavour. Average at best.
