On tap. The only winner in the Hefe flight. That said, this is an extremely solid beer (not only compared to the others, but to Hefes in general). Pours with a hazed, medium yellow hued body and a small white head. Aromas are great. Ripe banana, medium isoamyl acetate, lots of vanilla, grainy, light mint, light clove, awesome balance of ester and phenols. Flavors show light bubblegum, medium malt, low bitternes, nice isoamyl acetate, but relatively clean otherwise. A touch of fruit, medium 4VG, good carbonation, and a silky mouthfeel. The best of the flight by a WIDE margin! I would brew a Hefe with this yeast purely based off this 4oz sample.
