Hefeweizen from a still fairly young craft brewery in the west of Sweden, from tap at Akkurat - thanks Goedele for sharing! Snow white, plaster-like lacing, irregularly shaped, fluffy head on a misty pale yellow blonde robe with greenish tinge. Aroma of cinnamon, banana peel rather than actual banana, clove, fresh parsley, white bread dough, brioche, freshly cut green pear, apple peel, rainwater. Fruity onset, banana as expected but somehow restrained for the intended style, 'greenish' rather than ripe if you get my drift; also green pear and apple peel, sweetish but not too much so (as compared with e.g. the 'macro-brewed' Dutch examples of the style); fizzy carb but small-bubbled, smooth (banana-)bready middle with brioche-like edges but again not too sweet, with a slight wheat sourishness running underneath. Retronasal clove and vague cinnamon but also that parsley-like phenolic element again, alongside a touch of mild grassy hop bitterness; some wheat soapiness lingers. Quite credible for what it wants to be, but clearly not a true Bavarian Weissbier either, lacking the yeasty subtleties those typically exhibit. A smoothened and restrained 'Nordic' form of Weissbier, I guess one could say...
