Confused at what the intentions of what Frost was aiming for in this beer, I ended up pouring into a weizen glass and a becher pint glass.
Here’s the rest:
The appearance was a burnt hazy yellow/almost orange color with a sustaining film of a white little head in the weizen glass. Totally dies off in the becher glass. Both glasses have no lacing.
The aroma in both glasses takes the weizen yeast (crisp subtle banana esters), subtle bubblegum, light spicy clove underneath. Light sweet grassiness.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation rides light allowing the spice to hit appropriately on my tongue, not overbearing, but nice.
Overall, what in the hell is really supposed to be? I’m left scratching my beard, bottle says \"blonde ale.\" But really comes across like a hefeweizen. They say they added \"witbier\" traits, but I think this leans mainly to a German Hefeweizen and they did a damn good job at a German hefeweizen.
