Nashweizen

12 ounce bottle into weizen glass, no bottle dating. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lemon, orange, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, berry, banana, bubblegum, clove, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and pale/wheat malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, orange, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, berry, banana, bubblegum, clove, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light pine/grassy/zesty bitterness and yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, berry, banana, bubblegum, clove, pepper, pine, wheat, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance; and minimal astringent hop flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing lingering bitter/spicy dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 5.75%. Overall this is a nice hoppy hefeweizen style. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and pretty refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Very well balanced between all flavors. The Mandarina Bavaria, Hull Melon, and Hallertau Blanc hops worked really well with the yeast character. A nicely enjoyable offering, and spot on base style example on the yeast character/malt balance.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a near clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of clove with banana and earthy wheat underlying. Flavor has more of a sweet wheat and clove combination with some melon in the finish.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle, bottles on July 6, 2017, poured into a weizen glass. Hazy golden with medium/small white head. Aroma is esters, medium body, medium carbonation, and pretty good small-bubble lacing. Taste is grainy, herbal hops, and some esters. I didn't enjoy their wheat beers.
