I can't remember the last time I've had a hefe, especially one I've never had before. This starts off on a high note, I broke out my weihenstephan weizen glass and it looks great, a cloudy bright gold, large fluffy head. The nose is great, doughy with a touch of banana. Nicely carbonated, but a bit of a let down in the flavor, as the palate is so light it borders on watery, with almost no malt flavors, just a hint of sourdough bread and very light phenols. Finish is nearly empty, with lingering phenolics on the palate. So close.
