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.

PYRAMID HEFEWEIZEN ALE

Cloudy yellow-toned ‘wheat-brewed ale with yeast’ works grassy spice-hopped tingle, lemony plantain-clove slither and harvested grain rawness into pale malt residue for delightful initial impression. Plaintive floral wheat waft grafts citric-fizzed finish. Only its green banana reminder provides usual hefeweizen styling. Closer to an American wheat ale.
