SLY FOX ROYAL WEISSE ALE

Canned straw-hazed Bavarian-styled hefeweizen brings soft German pilsner malting to sour lemon-candied green apple tartness and billowy vanilla-creamed 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 honeyed citric finish lowers appeal.

 

 

 

SIERRA NEVADA KELLERWEIS HEFEWEIZEN

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. On tap, dryer Berliner wiess qualities emerge, such as saltier lemon-seeded souring and raw-honeyed wheat breading. Plus, its body is a hazier yellowed beige.

MOOSBACHER WEISSBIER

Murky golden-hazed hefeweizen with casual sweet ‘n sour banana-clove opening, spritzy lemon tartness and vanilla wafer pleasantry needs firmer body and less murky finish. Musty hard-candied lemondrop midst and washed-out banana bubblegum reminder regale fragile honeyed wheat base. Fizzy Seltzer-like flow diminishes astringent hop bittering of unassuming mediocrity.

HOPPIN’ FROG WILD FROG WHEAT ALE

Robust for its style, well-balanced wide-ranging golden-hazed hefeweizen wields phenol white-wined green grape esters into sunny citric souring, pale wheat malting, dark floral potpourri and herbaceous nuances. Orange-peeled lemon zest brightens banana-coriander-clove sensation, gathering momentum over honey-sugared banana bread, cooked apple and vanilla cake illusions. Though minor phenolic acidity looms, fully realized brew retains endless expression.

ISSAQUAH BULLFROG ALE

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.
