Twisted Creek Wheat

Bottle. A- Banans, citrus, spices. A- Golden color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Subtle banana notes, Prominent lemon and citrus notes. Mild spices. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, fruity finish. O- A good Hefe. I like that the lemon tones outweigh the banana tones. Very smooth and easy to drink.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is some slight citrus with some bubblegum sweetness. Flavor is light wheat malts with some lemon juice sourness. This was deffinaly more of an wheat ale then a German hefe. It may have been infected with the high head and sourness.

Bottle - moderate haze and high carbonation - nose is heavy on the dry, spice phenols (clove, sage), but there is an undercurrent of lightly sweet wheat malt and mild banana - quite inviting, really - light to medium body, with a moderate acidity - quite dry and spicy, with strong peppery phenols and a crisp, crackery maltiness - light toasty wheat - finish is bone dry, dusty, almost flinty, with lingering spiciness, light hop character and a bit of lemon/citrus - there is something about the finish that tastes more Belgian than hefe - maybe the particular yeast character - either way, this beer is solid - not quite a traditional hefe, but it is really hitting the spot right now.

Bottle from the brewpub. Pours orange gold with a white or off-white head. Aroma seems mildly spicey. Med body/frothy carb. There’s a little citrus and some yeast/spice. Like it’s struggling to be Belgian. Wheat is detectable, but not the main flavor by far. Pretty drinkable for a wheat.
