A malty easy drinking hefeweizen made with Wyoming grown grain. Crisp and borderline with a classic pilser, this beer is very palatable to most

Slightly hazy golden and raw honey coloured body that shows a little clear towards the bottom and a very thin, barely half centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of pure wheat, coriander seed and a dash of bananas with some bubble gum noticeable on the edges. Medium-bodied; Strong wheat and yeast elements dominate with a good kick of coriander seed for freshness, but missing out almost completely from fruits, especially oranges and curacao with no real banana notes either and definitely no spices. Aftertaste shows some fresher wheat, yeast, bread and light coriander seed with a hint of citrus notes at the end. Overall, a nice and very refreshing slightly filtered Hefeweizen that hits the marks in terms of wheat and coriander seed, but leaves a bit missing towards the oranges and curacao notes with some spices desired for more of a complexity. While it's simple and refreshing, and not a bad option here in Wyoming, there are much better options if this is one of your only local choices for the style! I sampled this sixteen ounce pint on draught at Longhorn Restaurant in Sundance, Wyoming on 26-June-2020 for US$5,00.

On draught at Old Chicago.

It looks the part, hazy straw yellow colour, nice head of foam, outstanding lacing.

The smell is okay. Banana, wheat, grainy, cloves.

The taste has bananas, cloves, wheat, perhaps a bit too grainy for my liking.
Earthy.

Appropriate mouthfeel for the style.
Decent attempt at the style.
