On tap at the source. This was poured into a plastic pint glass.
I was skeptical at first, but here’s the rest that might tell you differently.
The appearance was a hazy to cloudy burnt orange color. No head or lacing but I figure it was poured into improper glassware so....yeah, no further comment.
The smell, wow, that’s exactly what a true hefeweizen is supposed to smell like. Nice amount of speckled clove with the banana esters and a light wheat to it.
The taste took those aromas to combine and complete with a light wheat kick on the finish. A sweet wheaty clove aftertaste came in front of the finish.
On the palate, this sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. The carbonation came across good and smooth for the style and for me.
Overall, I say this was a hefeweizen true to its German roots. Pure in all that it is. By an American brewer, if only this got out of Illinois, uh oh, Weihenstephaner.

This was poured into a plastic pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking dark brown close to black color with nice fully clinging lacing surrounding the top of the glass as the head dissipated.
The smell had a huge emphatic roasty coffee bean and sweet to roasty chocolate. Light vanilla enters in as it warms.
The taste was mainly sweet and roasty smooth leading into a semi - sweet to dry and roasty edged out aftertaste. A light sweet sticky roasty coffee and chocolate rolls right on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionable to sipping aspect to it. Carbonation comes out super smooth and just allocates itself so nicely over my tongue in a rich and subtly smooth sort of way.
Overall, I say this was a very well done milk/sweet stout that will hold its own with the bigger ones on the market.
