BENEDIKTINER WEISSBIER
Not as good as Germany’s premier Paulaner and Franziskaner hefes, lacking convincing banana-clove thrust. Sputtering banana bubblegum sugaring and gingery nutmeg-cardamom spicing (and herbal residue) lost amongst mildly creamed vanilla froth, leaving feeble raw-honeyed lemony orange musk. But its eggy sourdough breading retains proper hefeweizen luster.

LIQUID STATE YARD LION HEFEWEIZEN
Effervescent lemon spritz leaves banana-clove-bubblegum sweetness in the midst as white grape esters enter the easygoing summertime fray. Honeyed white wheat spine tingled.
LIVE OAK HEFEWEIZEN
“Harmonious” idiosyncratic Bavarian hefe may be America’s finest and boldest. Effervescent lemon spritz welcomes sweet banana-bubblegum-clove expectancy, vanilla eclair creaming and white-peppered respite atop floury sourdough wheat base of meringue-headed golden bliss.
NOD HILL GARTEN WEIZEN HEFEWEIZEN
