Overall 5.5
Bottle to weizen glass, the appearance was a semi-cloudy pale yellow to orange color with a finger’s worth of white foamy to fizzy head. Sliding lace.
The aroma had some toast, doughy yeast, light honey and banana sweetness.
The flavor was moderately sweet through the prior mentioned aromas to slide into the aftertaste. Light clove does play a small part in the taste but, it’s brisk and not as noticeable as I thought it could be for a great hefeweizen. Finish was abrupt with the sweet wheat.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, for a German hefeweizen, it seemed a bit under than the top notch ones on the market. Clove seemed weaker to me.
