Keg at Omnipollos Hatt, Stockholm. Cloudy golden, mid sized head. Rich aroma of pear candy and bubblegum. Mid sweet with medium body and well rounded, slightly oily mouthfeel. Pear and bubblegum dominates. Low bitterness. Nice drinkable, albeit a tad sweet and candyish.

On tap at Funky Buddha, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out low roast, with plenty of lactose snowing and a heart oat backbone. Flavour is robust, with medium roasted malt, plenty of lactose, and light oats. Creamy and silky, balanced well. Excellent.

Draught at Mikkeller Bar, Viktoriagade. Cloudy orange coloured body, fragile lacing from a dissipating white head. Distant dusty hops on the nose, rather sweet. Ripe banana and orange to the taste profile. Wheat fruity ending, semi-sweet. So and so. Shared with Skinnyviking. (Copenhagen 13.05.2018).

Tap. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is banana, fresh yeast, wheat. Taste is banana, mineralic, rather dry. Oily, a bit chalky mouthfeel with low carbonation. Ok. --- Beer merged from original tick of El Jefe Hefeweizen - Coconut on 10 Sep 2017 at 11:04 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8. Original review text: Tap. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is wheat, dough, coconut, banana cream, quite authentic in its Hefe character (except for the coconut, of course, but it's subtle). Taste is banana cream, a touch coconut milk, clean jammy character. Oily mouthfeel, low carbonation for a Hefeweizen. Fun! I did not expect to say this, but now I can actually believe that the regular El Jefe deserves its spot in the style Top50.

Mikk. Vic. Keg. Hazy gold beer, tiny white head. Palate is light, dry and has reasonable superfine carbonation. Light malts, sweetish. Little caramel. Light banana, slightly ripe. Little soft dried fruits. About as good as Hefe's get.
