Hefe Weizen
Town Hall Brewery

Had on tap. Murky bright orangey body with a sudsy white head and tons of lacing. Smells of potent banana, wheat, clove, and cracker with honey and orange supporting. Taste removes the cracker and orange is lighter, but otherwise the same. Feel is light and bright with a good wheat finish, but leans sweeter more than zesty with the accents. Great for a hot day!

Had the Hefeweizen at Town Hall Brewery, Seven Corners, Mpls., on draft into modern Weizen glass.

Traditional hefe, lacking a bit in the head, but banana and cloves aroma and flavor are fully evident, in a balanced, full-bodied beer, which is now (nearly) at 5.60 ABV.

 

 

 

 

 

 

at the TH Tap, into the appropriate glassware, nice thick and tight head and decent retention, not a lot of lacing, a little more amber in color than I expected. Lots of clove, wheat and a kiss of honey but not a lot of complexity, and not much banana or any other fruity esters. On the taste, it is very satisfying, with what the nose promises but better, and a little more fruit (both banana and a little citrus). Cloves really dominate, though. Body is kind of substantial and mouthful is smooth but not as dry or zesty on the finish as I wished. A fairly good version of a hefe...I'd definitely be happy to drink it again.
