Location: Bomber from a grocery in Ogunquit, 7/10/13
Aroma: The nose has some caramel, fruit, and hops to it
Appearance: This one pours a dar orange colorwith a beige colored head
Flavor: The taste is lightly sweet, a bit fruit, with plenty of caramel, and a mid-plus bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it has a fairly soft, almost flat carbonation, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: It thought this was a decent, though unexciting example of the style. It is drinkable, and you could certainly do much worse, but it isn't a memorable one for me.

Pours hazy gold into a Sam glass. White soapy head recedes leaving no lacing. Clove and banana aromas. Soft with sweet clove and wheat upfront turning to mild banana in the medium length finish.

22 oz. bottle from Hampton Falls Village Market. Perfect display of a hefeweizen. The nose got me excited the smell is right on for this style, lots of yeast phenols. Tons of banana, bubblegum and clove. For some strange reason the taste didn’t match the wonderful yeast aromas. Somehow everything was muted. I know the bottle was fresh, so age wasn’t a problem. It just really let me down after the great aromas it started off with. A nice try and Rising Tide almost hit the mark for a German Hefe.

Pours a slightly hazy medium golden color with a huge cream colored head that takes forever to recede. A solid shot of citrus and pine resin aroma with a faint hint of bready caramel deep underneath along with a fleeting ethanol aroma. The flavor is bready and malty with and earthy pine resinous flavor. Light bit of yeast and a hint of ethanol round out the flavor. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick resinous mouthfeel. Decent brew, but could use a hint more body, a bit less yeastiness and less alcohol presence to be world class.

Pours a slightly hazy medium golden color with a huge beige head that takes forever to recede to a drinkable level. Wow that’s got a wonderful hop nose. Pine, resin and a light citrus aroma plays nicely with a spicy wheat and lightly bready malts. The flavor is lightly fruity with a great fruity hop flavor and a solid spicy bite from the wheat and yeast. Medium body with a spirited level of carbonation and a sweet tart mouthfeel. Decent beer, I would probably try it again if it weren’t 10 bucks for 375ml.

550 ml bottle thanks to Phatdog1 one on the sample. Nose is really pleasant, flower hops, that Nelson Sauvin is a variety I really tend to enjoy. Also sweet malt smelling. Light in body and tastes similar to how it smells. Malt takes over toward the finish yet has a floral hop presence with a crisp refreshing finish.

Bottle at Sander’s place, NYC. Pours dark brown with a tight, tan cream head. Loads of torched pine in the nose, some roasty malts. Light sweet flavor with dirty, roasty malts, earth, bitter cocoa, dark line. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Some burnt piney resins to finish, bit of heavy ash, dark malts, earth. Good.
