This one caught my eye the other day. I had never heard of it before, but I like hefeweizens.
Upon pouring, big yeasty aroma, nice frothy white head. It had a golden yellow color. Nice and cloudy. The bottle was still ripe too, the yeast weren't clumping and autolysing which sometimes happens with old heffeweizens.
It seemed just perfect for a spring afternoon. This beer has a smooth spicy character with a nice dry finish. It tasted a little cool for my tastes, so I let it sit for a while to warm up, and I was rewarded when it did. Wonderful esters exploded into my mouth. Orange, lemon, with a banana finish. Complementing the smooth, sweet, yeasty taste. Spices lingered on the side of my tounge for several minutes. All the while frothy white head lingered nicely.
Great beer. I love the fruity esters. Pick this one up for sure.
