Fair golden-hazed lemon-peeled sour-candied light body lacks expectant banana-clove theme of better German-styled hefeweizens. Sparkling lemon-lime fizzed Seltzer watering and wispy coriander-ginger-spicing provide crispness but glutinous wheat-malted stickiness becomes cloy. Dish-watered soaping voids acidic yellow-fruited whim. Lackluster lawnmower fodder.

Sour lemon-candied moderate-bodied rust-hazed hefeweizen retains strong cider sharpness, dried orange pungency, unripe banana pliancy, and grassy-hopped earthiness. Piquant yellow grape esters and puckered green apple tartness advance mild grassy-hopped citric-soured acidity. Expectant clove spicing lacks.

Canned straw-hazed Bavarian-styled hefeweizen brings soft German pilsner malting to sour lemon-candied green apple tartness and billowy vanilla-creamed honey-dropped banana-clove-bubblegum sweetness. Metallic detergent-like oxidation relegates looming orange-fig-prune conflux, herbal woodruff -jasmine twinge and dark floral aspect. Bark-dried vegetal astringency at citric finish lowers appeal.

Rating: 3.5

Tags:

Cordial moderate-bodied golden-hazed German-styled wheat ale features usual suspects. Ripe banana seeps into clove-spiced grassy-hopped lemon-dried midst of fizzy soft-watered fodder. Casual banana bread finish enlivened by wheat biscuit spine.

Rating: 2.5

Tags:

Murky golden-hazed hefeweizen with casual sweet ‘n sour banana-clove opening and spritz-y lemon tartness needs firmer body and less murky finish. Musty hard-candied lemondrop midst rises above fragile honeyed wheat base and fizzy hops add Seltzer-like flow to unassuming mediocrity.

SCUTTLEBUTT 10 DEGREES BELOWCreamy wintry weizenbock retains soft, fluffy texture for cinnamon-spiced brown chocolate theme. Prune, raisin, and cherry gird cocoa-dusted molasses malting as vanilla, cappuccino, and walnut illusions emerge. But seasonal clove and gingerbread spicing lacks stamina.

HOPPIN' FROG WILD FROGRobust for its style, well-balanced wide-ranging hazy golden hefeweizen wields white wine waft into sunny citric souring, dark floral potpourri, and herbaceous nuances. Orange-peeled banana-coriander-clove sensation gathers momentum over honey-sugared banana bread, cooked apple, and vanilla cake illusions. Though minor phenolic acidity looms, fully realized brew retains endless expression.

Rating: 3.5

Tags:

Heavily-hazed pearl-headed yellow-bodied Bavarian wheat ale retains prickly peppered hop zest, sweet coriander-clove spicing, and ester-y banana tartness, staying lively on the tongue. Bubblegum illusions peak through lemony vanilla wafer midst. Musty apple-apricot-orange fruiting enlightens mild backend.

Rating: 2.5

Tags:

Huge puffy head, foamy carbolic froth, and cloudy pale appearance form initial impression for weak-bodied yeast-saturated wheat ale. Bursts in the mouth like champagne, then, after a few seconds, leaves only slight bitter grain finish. Nowhere nears as effervescent or strong as more reliable hefeweizens. Brewery defunct: 2002.

Cordial 60% barleymalt/ 40% wheat combination suits typically frothy golden-hazed Bavarian-styled beer. Fizzy carbonation explodes in mouth before concentrated grains settle beside yeast-sinewed banana-clove midst. At finish, nutmeg nestles banana nut bread insistence.

Rating: 4

Tags:

Old-styled gold-hazed medium-bodied Bavarian dark wheat pours out of bottle with lively carbolic vigor, amplifying creamy vanilla seduction before leaving banana nut and raisin bread illusions in its wake. Musty clove-spiced cherry-apple-grape fruiting fortifies chewy malt center to sweet honeyed wheat finish.

Rating: 3

Tags:

Partly cloudy white-headed German wheat maintains sweet-spiced yellow fruit essence, massive clove presence, and middling sour yeast finish. Rustic grains anchor the bottom well.
