EAST END HEFEWEIZEN
Brisk lemon spritz prickles laidback banana-clove sweetness lingering thru lightly powder-sugared sourdough base. Easygoing summertime wheat ale.
HELLTOWN HEFEWEIZEN
Not as stylishly sweet despite doughy yeast sugaring. Expectant banana-clove pairing fades quick as soapy hop phenols deplete honeyed wheat base and lemony respite.
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.
MIDDLE JAMES GREAT MUSA HEFEWEIZEN
On tap at Growlers To Go – Duck, middling hefe sacrifices some stylish banana-clove sweetness for dryer lemony herbage that nearly buries its sugary vanilla wafer backdrop.
SCHILLING SCHLAUMEIER BAVARIAN STYLE HEFEWEIZEN
Delicate straw clear hefe stays thin as spritzy lemon licks prickle sweet banana-clove seduction over soft sourdough wheat base, picking up mild herbage, green grape tannins and phenol hop blurb.
MICHAEL PLANK HEFEWEIZEN
Sad excuse for a German-made hefeweizen. Spritzy sour lemon musk, hard cider vinegaring and white grape tannins disrupt stylish banana-clove sweetness and sourdough base of phenolic copper crud.
ARISTAEUS SUMMER SPLASH HEFEWEIZEN
Summery hefe loads zesty lemon spritz atop white wheat base as stylish banana-clove sweetness takes back seat to sunny citric splash.
DOVETAIL HEFEWEIZEN
Spritzy lemon fizz and white peppered herbal respite deter stylish banana-clove sweetness and dainty mandarin orange tang, though powder-sugared sourdough bottom retains dense eggy yeast richness.
TRAUGER HOCHWASSER HEFEWEIZEN
Withdrawn banana bubblegum sweetness and mild clove spicing never overcome invasive herbal lemon rind musk as sourdough bottom fades.
SCHNEIDER WEISS LOVE BEER
Pedestrian German wheat stays dry as salty lemon spritz prickles fried banana scour, winy Sauvignon Blanc sputter and phenol spicing above sugary sourdough base.
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.
