Sunny golden hazed disposition, mowed grass aroma, and chaffed wheat dryness befit tamped-down lemon-hopped splurge of non-committal dry-bodied hefeweizen. Simply put, up-front resolve lacks tenacity and expectant banana-clove influence never arrives to intensify floral-spiced orange-grapefruit peel bittering. Honeyed caramel malting counters white peppered herbage, barely reaching fruition halfway through.

NOR’WESTER HONEY WEIZEN
SAMUEL ADAMS WEISS
TUCHER WEIZEN
(BROOKLYN) BROOKLYNER WEISSE BEER
Admirable unfiltered Bavarian wheat with dryer-than-expected banana-clove template, sourdough yeast sinew and temperate floral hops given punctual carbolic fizz. Strong, but never pungent, allowing banana, grapefruit and bubblegum illusions to dab limey bottom. Better with lemon and nearly perfect for hazy summer party.
KONIG LUDWIG WEISS
OXFORD HEFEWEIZEN
SARANAC HEFEWEIZEN
Smooth unfiltered German-style wheat ale softens up-front banana dominance with sweet yeast influence, spicy clove insistence, and teasing herbal resonance. Durable overripe banana finish embittered nicely by frisky lemon peeled hop stead. 2011 version upped the banana sweetness and deepened the cardamom-coriander-clove spicing.
(TWO BROTHERS) EBEL’S WEISS
(BROOKLYN) BROOKLYNER WEISSE
KULMBACHER KAPUZINER BAVARIAN HEFE-WEIZEN
PAULANER HEFE-WEIZEN
Enchanting lemony banana-clove essence, burrowed sourdough recline and amiable butterscotch subtlety consume hearty frothy-headed golden-clouded medium body. Natural yeast sediment coats crisp citric flourish, subtle floral bouquet and biscuit-y wheat foundation as spicy hop fizz advances. In comparison to Wiehenstephaner Hefeweiss, doughy sweetness seems creamier. The perfect German hefe not far removed from drier, fruitier Belgian ales.
