Delectable white-headed yellow-cleared moderation (a.k.a. Tap 4 Mein Grunes circa ’13) douses heavenly butterscotch creaminess inside dried banana tartness to bubble-gummy center. Floral-dusted clove-coriander-cardamom prickle nudges black peppered hop bittering, burnt wood chip salience and doughy mildew sinew. Moldy lemon-orange-peach tang precedes arid wheat wine finish. Compares favorably to Franziskaner brews.

CARMEL WHEAT BEER
AVIATOR HEFE WEIZEN ALE
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.
FRANZISKANER HEFE-WEISSBIER
Classy amber-clouded half-wheat beer punctuates sweet floral-wafted banana-clove conflux with sourdough yeast vibrancy and creamy vanilla resonance. Peppery hop sharpness awakens tart lemon candied sourness at midst. Nutmeg adjunct provides light holiday ale vestige. An uncomplicated but well defined moderate body.
