look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 3.5
a: slightly murky dark straw color with some dark yellow notes around the sides of the glass. poured a 1 finger bright-white head that faded quickly

s: loads of pear and green apple up front. banana and clove behind. big wheaty note with some lemon grass. a little bubble gum and cardamom as well

t: taste isn't as vibrant as the aroma. banana and clove hit you right away. pear and ripe apples behind that. old wheat and some grass. some malt sweetness on the back as well

m: stronger side of medium with high carbonation

o: a decent Hefe, but it lacks some of the esters that you really want to pop in the style. could use a bit more from the head as well

22 oz bottle poured into a weizen glass.
5.1% ABV

A - Pouring pale yellow in color with a trace of haziness, this beer looks more like a witbier but the towering white head suggests otherwise, draping thick lacing over the glass as it lowers.

S - Weiss-Blau's boisterous ripe banana and charming clove give the fragrant aroma a quick snap of authentic yeast that trails off with bubble gum and soft, airy wheat notes for a nearly perfect introduction.

T - Fragrant banana and clove notes develop nicely in flavor but take a back seat to the wonderful blend of soft, supple wheat and pale malt flavor, which, in co-operation with the yeast esters, produces a great authentic Bavarian flavor.

M - Weissbiers generally run higher in carbonation but if there is one drawback to Weiss-Blau, it's the exuberant carbonation, assaulting the tongue and throat with prickly bubbles. It only serves as a detriment because it removes from the beer's soft wheat body that otherwise makes it a smooth drinking experience.

O - A classic, authentic Bavarian wheat beer from an American brewer, Vintage's Weiss-Blau offers a vibrant aroma, balanced flavor, and easy drinking smooth finish for an all around fantastic hefeweizen!

I was the proud customer of the second pour of their first in-house produced beer.

The beer was served in a weizen glass with a thick, clingy white head and a cloudy golden-yellow color. The aroma is wheaty and yeasty--typical inviting hefe aromas, with good balance between banana and clove. The flavor is much like the aroma, moderate estery and spicy yeast character with a very soft, slightly sweet malt flavor. Just enough hop bitterness and slightly dry finish make sure the finish is quite refreshing. The mouthfeel is quite smooth with a proper amount of carbonation for the style. Overall a very well made hefeweizen. I look forward to their other brews as they become ready!
