Draught at Brighton Taproom, 8/19/22. Cloudy lemon. White head shows moderate retention. Wow, been a while since I've had a smoked Weisse. Not sure I've even had more than just Schlenkerla's. Smoked banana, rich wheat, strong mineral with light honey to balance. Clove and little/no bubblegum. Clove up front, very much outdoing the smoked character. Soft wheat and honey with light bread dough and soft pepper. I recognize this isn't supposed to be a glass of bacon but I'd prefer a bit more smoke-to-clove ratio here. Otherwise, it's malty, well-attenuated, clean and drinkable.

2nd pour from a freshly tapped gravity cask at the Brighton Taproom, 8/19/22. Clear bronze-maize, large, off-white head showing moderate retention. Fresh herbs, mineral and a mix of dainty honey and cracker. Clean with lemon pepper, light sourdough and a hint of white grape. Earthy, mineral-heavt yeast/water character with moderate, fresh herbal hops balancing a cracker and honey-rich, malty texture with strong attenuation. Soft and drinkable with great balance.

Brighton draught, 8/19/22. Deep chestnut-raspberry. Good clarity. Beige head is full and lasting. Bright fruits and light minerality with dainty honey behind it. Maybe a touch of caramel but pretty balanced on yeast/malt/hop/water character. Touch of roast as it warms, on the finish. Very clean and well-executed nose. Chewy, richly-malted, fruity and a touch hoppy and roasty. Lingering caramel with a dash of coffee. Great attenuation, good mineral, impeccable balance and great attenuation. Could drink a lot of this.

Brighton draught, 8/19/22. Clear, medium-amber. Large, butter/off-white head, moderate-to-strong retention. Classic banana-clove isn't overpowering but prominent. Richly-malted with a light fruitiness and long honey. Clean. Soft, very malty with sweet dough, bubble gum, ripe banana and lingering drier grain and light phenolic spice. Not overdone on banana or clove and though it's on the sweeter side, I actually prefer that to bone dry and overly spicy/astringent.

OK, so I recognized they were playing French Disko by Stereolab when I was picking up a crowler, I confirmed that this is not the same beer as the Bière D’Alsace so picked up a 4-pack... Pours clear gold into a shaker. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sourdough and weed aromas. Crisp with sweet hay and sourdough upfront turning to pine and bitter earth in the lasting finish.
