SLY FOX DOPPELBOCK HEFE
On tap at Liberty Craft House, suspect doppel-hefe combo never truly connects both German styles. But its hefe-like banana breading and clove-cinnamon-nutmeg spicing and bock-like toffee-cocoa-pecan conflux offer pleasantries for sweet-toothed brewhounds.
NORTH RIVER TARWE WIT
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, admirable flagship hefe features louder hop spicing and richer body than typical stylistic fare. Sweet banana-clove entry gains zesty lemon-orange tang and herbal cologne notion above Graham Cracker-like wheat spine.
SOLEMN OATH YARNBOMB
On tap at Ambulance, refreshingly singular “Northwest-styled” Cascadian(?) hefeweizen lets stylish banana-clove sweetness take a backseat to lemony grapefruit and pineapple tartness and herbal respite in similar fashion to some sourer saisons, perhaps. Dank spelt-like oats dryness and grassy hop astringency provide earthen bottom for citric-herbal finish.
ELLICOTTVILLE BLOOD ORANGE HEFEWEIZEN
On tap at Shepherd & Knucklehead – Haledon, Napa Valley blood orange adjunct felt abruptly above hefe-styled banana and clove sweetness. Plastique groating coats blood orange influence while funky herbal wisps remain low-key.
CROOKED CURRENT HEFEWEIZEN
In a 32-ounce crowler, quirky hefe brings raw-honeyed lemon souring, herbal chamomile spell and orange juice-splashed vodka nip to stylish vanilla-caked banana and clove tartness. Off-putting vegetal murk sets back obtuse citric-spiced plantain finish.
VICTORY WINTER CHEERS WHEAT ALE – 2016
On tap at The Oath, amplified winter wheat ale coalesces Citra-hopped lemony orange tang, mild banana-clove-bubblegum sweetness and light white-peppered herbage above terrified wheat spine, picking up estery white grape remnant as well as wispy peach, pear and quince illusions at jubilant citric-spiced finish.
FRIEDENFELSER HEFE-WEIZEN
On tap at Ambulance, atypical hefe lets sour lemon rot and herbal lemongrass consume, but not overwhelm, stylish banana-clove expectancy. Closer to a muskier Belgian wit, perhaps, its white-peppered citric spicing and white-wined lemon pie tartness gain ground on setback banana-clove sweetness and malted wheat refuge.
SUSQUEHANNA SO-WHEAT
Tangy citric hop spritz gains hefe-styled banana, clove, bubblegum and vanilla sweetness above delicate brown-sugared Graham Cracker spine. Lemony grape esters lighten the blanched yellow-fruited finish.
NARRAGANSETT HAVE A HEFEWEIZEN!
Mild and metallic canned hefe needs sweeter lemony banana tartness, more distinct coriander-clove spicing and thicker doughy wheat spine. Spritzy carbolic briskness brings lemony orange misting.
JERSEY GIRL HEFEWEIZEN
On tap at Tiff’s, mellow light body (paltry 3.7% ABV) too watery to compete with true German hefes as muted lemony banana-clove expectancy stays distant and candied orange snip flutters anonymously.
SHIP BOTTOM BEACH PATROL HEFEWEIZEN
Unconvincing lighter bodied hefe lacks distinct banana-clove sweetness that softly fades away and gets sideswiped by an unexpected saison-like lemony grapefruit souring and salt-peppered (Belgian) yeast herbage.
