On tap at Growlers To Go – Kitty Hawk, fair clouded golden hefe needs sweeter banana-clove tandem, creamier honeyed wheat malting and niftier sugar cookie respite to fight back less fulfilling herb-dried lemon spritz undermining its stylish depth. Restraint sourdough breading falters.
On tap at Growlers To Go – Kitty Hawk, dry orange oiling desiccates vanilla-creamed banana and clove sweetness atop treacly honeyed wheat malting.
Easygoing hefe variant utilizes red grapefruit sugaring for syrupy soda-like suds sweet-toothed candy lovers may love or find cloying. Either way, it’s closer to a summery shandy or radler than any wheat-based hefe. At the finish, bubblegum-candied orange and tangerine enliven sugary red and white grapefruit juiciness.
Fizzy orange-oiled plantain souring and murkily tart lemon meringue spicing infiltrate pasty wheat-sugared baked breading, lacking proper stylistic banana-clove sweetness.

Peculiar ‘modern twist’ on hefeweizen provides dry-hopped Earl Grey tea-like Wai-iti & Idaho 7 hop combo to not quite traditional lemon-soured banana tartness as green grape tannins, white peachiness and plantain starching dabble with drifting herbal misting. An awkwardly nifty easygoer.
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, mild vanilla creaming rises above straw-cleared hefe as banana-clove sweetness contrasts light lemon-soured plantain tartness, wispy green grape tannins and herbal whims above sourdough French breading.
