We've come up with the perfect way to enjoy a bright sparkling taste of summer, no matter what the season may be. This hefeweizen carries a distinct banana ester profile, and crisp finish. No bananas were harmed or peeled in the brewing of this beer. It's just a little side benefit that our German yeast strain gives us.

Sampled on draft at the Map Room this beer poured a hazy yellow-golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was strong banana and light citrus with a bready undertone. The flavor was tart yet sweet and lightly bitter with strong banana, moderate citrus and a touch of clove. The finish was long with banana and clove. The mouthfeel was fairly thick. Very well done.

From a growler, thanks Scott! In the beginning as you pour it from the east end jug, it seems to be a perfect example of this style. Lacks any of the notorious american wheat attributes. Very nice candy aroma. Clean and fresh on the olfactory. Perfectly cloudy vanilla yella with a creamy looking thin head. Palate is chewy and certainly not watered down. Friendly and fun. Appealing in the most wheaty-est of ways. IMHO probably could use a little more tingly carbonation, but it is not lacking in that department. Good example of a hefe that is not overly spice, simple and beautiful. Finish is banana, bubblegum and vanilla all the way. No hint of bitterness what so ever! Another winner from the East End of Pittsburgh.
