Served in a 5 oz taster, fairly warm.

Appears dark orangish yellow, completely cloudy/opaque, slight fizz around the rim of the glass. Looks like mango juice.

Nose of a yeast sample, phenolic; conceals/overwhelms other aromas.

Flavor is moderate, suitable for the style, dominated by the strong nose. Mouthfeel is thick, not as fresh or light feeling as expected for a hefeweizen.

Drinkability is poor. This is my third (figurative) sink pour of 2007, the only one of the 6 in the flight that I didn't enjoy (or finish). Instead of Bier mit Hefe, this is Hefe mit Bier.

The entire rest of The Livery's line-up on tap is much better than this (better? "conventional" is more fair). My guess is that this is a revival of Old World style. But it's not advertized that way: "A lightly hopped, refreshing, Bavarian style wheat beer that has hints of banana and clove in the finish."
