Description
Hi-Wire Brewing’s journey began in the summer of 2013 at their 2,700 square foot South Slope Brewery located at 197 Hilliard Ave in the heart of Asheville’s South Slope Brewery District. With the 2015 opening of their Big Top Production Brewery up the road, the original Hi-Wire brewhouse is 100% dedicated to brewing award-winning sour and wild ales and one-off small batch beers.

Brewing beers with a connection to the past is important to us. We love to brew traditional styles that honor the heritage of our craft and pay respect to those who have crafted beer before us. Yet, as an American craft brewer, we are elated to participate in the culture of experimentation that has developed here.

Bottle. Clear copper with a tall off-white head. Soft malty aroma. Warm toast. The flavor has light malt sweetness with a mild hop bitterness in the finish. Good beer but perhaps more hop bitterness than I expect in an Oktoberfest style. Only matters if that is important to you. Otherwise, hoppier than average Oktoberfest.

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can poured into a glass. Hazy golden with very small head. Aroma is nice brine, medium body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is brine, apricot, and tart. Nice gose.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks kerenmk. Deep golden. Aroma slightly stale hops, malt, a bit of caramel. Sweetish flavor with malt, a bit of caramel, and bitterish citric and piney hops with a light stale note. Light to medium-bodied. Decent.

12 oz can purchased House of Brews in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. ABV on my can was 4.2%. The pour is slight hazed yellow, light golden, greenish and a one inch fizzy white head that falls fast. The aroma is soft citrus, salt and mellow wheat grain. The taste is a nice balance of the wheat grain, mellow lemon citrus and the salt in the finish. Bit of dirtiness in the aftertaste. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation and the salt soft tart in the finish. Nicely balanced easy drinking Gose.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a nice big pop of banana. I don’t get much else but the banana is pretty awesome. Flavor is more banana with some wheat malt with a little vanilla at the end. This was a pretty true to the style beer. Just a no frills solid hefe.

12 oz. bottle with no dating found. A: Poured a huge creamy head in my chalice. Long retention looks like an ice cream float. Rich orange tinted clear gold body. S: Orange zest and brown toast mainly. Amber-esque. T: Fruity and pine flavors meld together then a mild malty sweetness. Hoppy but with nice balance. More orange toward the end. M: Soft creamy carbonation from the still standing head. Longish coating finish. O: Pleasant surprise here. Well priced and widely available means an easily recommended pale ale. Points though for no dating.
