Hefeweizen from Gordon Biersch Brewing Company
21 years ago
7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
A surprisingly good hefeweizen from a brewpub that had no other beers not in a lager category. Citrus and banana nose. Cloudy orange, but lacks sediment. Sweet wheat flavor followed by sour citrus. Well done.

3.6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
Sample (thank goodness) at the brewpub. Clear pale golden color with a thin white head that disappears rapidly. Lacing is not present. Faint floral hops aroma. Light-bodied and pretty much flavorless. There is a tiny bit of grain and hops but that is it. The finish is short which is good because the aftertaste is somehow unpleasantly sweet-n-sour. I won’t be bothering with this again.

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
On draught at the brewpub, served in a gold-rimmed Weizen glass. Hazy dark amber/golden color with a thick and fluffy off-white head. Thin and sticky lacing. Aroma of yeast and bananas. Medium-bodied and slick with flavors of wheat, banana and yeast. The finish is clean but kind of watery, with wheat and a bit of spice aftertaste. Above average overall, and honestly better than I was expecting.

Bottle Pours a medium copper amber with a modest off white head even after an agressive pour. Quicly dissipates to a thin white film that is maintained. Aroma is a mild swet maltiness that is slightly toasted. Little hop bitterness and some slight apple cider notes. Flavor is woody and slightly roasted. Tastes a bit thin and fairly swet but w/o much real flavor. Long lingering cardboard/bitterness. I’ll pass next time

5.6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Dark cola coloured body with a frothy tan head, almost non-existant. Aroma of roasted malt, pit fruit, nuts and some raisins. Medium-bodied; Nice full roasty malt flavour with a good long-lasting pit fruit sweetness. Aftertaste lingers and lasts quite a while. Overall, a good overall dunkel-the best beer from the brewpub and recommended if anyone visits the facility. I sampled this on draught on 29-September-2004 at the brewpub on 9th & F in Washington, D.C.

3.6/10 — Appearance 2 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of malt, some caramel and little else. Light-bodied; Small cardboard flavour with some mild german hops, some caramel and a mild malt taste. Really nothing to speak of in the aftertaste either. Overall, not a great beer at all. Not what I was expecting for the season, but that was tasted as the Marzen (which is offered regularly?) instead. I sampled this on draught on 29-September-2004 at the brewpub on 9th & F in Washington, D.C.

Clear ruby-tinted amber coloured body with a nice dense off-white head. Aroma of malt, slight toffee & light sugars. Light-bodied; Mild malt flavour with slight sugary tastes. Aftertaste clean with some mild malt tastes and other subtle flavours. Overall, not so great-but decent right before a red-eye flight! I sampled this beer from draught at The Crab Pot in San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on the second day of 10-June-2004...our first was spent in Sydney, Australia.

Cloudy yellow. Estery banana aroma. Sweet, soft and aromatic. Light bodied with loads of cloves. Really good real hefeweizen, even if it might lack complexity.

Sampled draught at Gordon Biersch, Burbank.
Hazy pale orange. Fairly sweet. Medium bodied. The malt character is somewhat soft and chewy, but the beer is on the neutral side. Low bitterness. This is maybe the only American true-to-style oktoberfest beers I have, and it is not a bad one, but I’d like to see even more malty mouthfeel, and definitely more buttery malt flavour.
