Our award winning Bavarian Style Hefeweizen is unlike the lemon-laden beers that flood the market under the same name. Ours is an unfiltered German classic with hints of banana, clove and pear. It’s all in all refreshing, and no fruit was added - nor needed. Instead the complex character of the beer is produced through mastery, detail and authentic Bavarian yeasts.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a bit of a copper glow and a thin, almost non-existant off-white head. Aroma of grass, coriander seed, oranges, alcohol and a hint of metal. Medium-bodied; Strong wheat flavour at first then mellows out with some sour orange tastes, a hint of yeast, a little lemon and a light herbal flavour. Aftertaste shows a lot of wheat, a bit of sweetness, but mostly, sour and bitter lemon and curacao flavours. Overall, a decent hef, more on the ’relaxing’ and refreshing side of beers, but not horrible. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 18-November-2011 for US$3.30 sampled at home in Washington on 10-June-2012.

Draught Small white head over golden beer with greenish shine. Sharp solvent nose, drying meat, estery, cloves. Cloves, sweet oranges, tad of mint in the finish. Low carbonation - in fact for the style utterly undercarbonated (somebody switched data with the Pils?). Wheatslickness, light body. Not convincing. Flavour is +/- right, but it presents itself lame.

Bottle in AZ. Pours a hazy, golden orange appearance with a very lively, white head. Spicy clove, lemon peel citrusy, light banana, apple/pear, wheat malty aroma. Fairly spicy, banana/citrus fruity, somewhat sharp wheat malty flavor with a bubbly, highly carbonated mouth feel. Not bad but the carbonation seems really high to me.

Bottle shared by Butters at Butters Slutfest 2.0, Richmond, VA, 4.23.11. Pours a hazy straw color with large floating particles. Large creamy tan head. Aroma of wheat and faint fruity notes. The taste is wheat, tart citrus, cheesy notes, apples and a faint vegetal finish. Medium bodied. Weird.

Sampled on draft at D’s in Monroeville this beer poured a dark amber color with a medium sized white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was light clove, faint citrus and almost butter. The flavor was fairly dry banana and clove with a bit of bread underneath. Short finish. Light body. Ok.

Bomber from Monument in Concord, CA. Pours a slightly hazy yellow/gold with a small white head. Aromas of yeast and citrus. Medium body with sharpish carbonation. Flavors are clove, yeast, arguably citrus, revealing banana. Somehow it seems a bit gummy to me. Not bad, but not really tasty.
