Sample at GABF 10/13/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. The beer pours bronze with a medium off-white head and short strings of lacing. The aroma is hoppy with some sweet fruit and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of herbal hops, citrus and grainy malt. The finish is citrusy with a lingering hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Pinball. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a white head. Distinct banana and yeast aroma and quite some clove for good measure. Medium body, lively carbonation, heavy on the banana notes, very yeasty with a phenollic touch. Ends dry. Unlike most US Hefes this is very true to an original German-style Hefe. Good but in no way outstanding for the style. 290512

Several pours from a growler generously shared by csbosox, who picked this up at the brewery approximately 10 days ago. The pour is copper orange ruby with a smallish off white head. Nice lacing left as the beer falls. The aroma is resin, catty, slightly dank, hint of pine, some cracker malt and a nice mineral note in the finish. The taste is big resin right away, great dank bitterness, toasted malt, quite dry in the finish with a great mineral after taste. The palate is medium bodied, a lower carbonation level, and the dry crisp finish. Thanks a ton Chris for bringing this back and sharing, I have been wanting to try a La Cumbre beer since they started up. I would love to try this fresh at the source, even after 10 days in a growler this was great.

Courtesy of ketchepillar at the Black Friday Tasting, thanks Sam, pouring up clear deep gold with an off white head. The aroma offers up rich citrus goodness with a nice supporting layer of malty sweetness in the background. Smells of pure YUM. The taste has firm bitter and flavor citrus hops rolling into modest levels of sweet maltiness. The citrus hops are just rich and vibrant and nicely sweetened up by the maltiness. This is crisp and yummy and amazing stuff. I could drink a ton of this. This is one of those beers that starts off amazing and somehow gets even better the more you drink.
