DK's hefe arrives in a distinctive shade of creamy ochre-gray not unlike the color of an orange creamsicle. It is equally opaque and boasts a spiced nutmeg/clove nose with a dash of black pepper. Though this is a traditional Bavarian model, crisp wheat elements shine through independently of more exotic yeast phenols. The body is smooth, the lace is happy, and there's not a lemon in sight.

Very nice. And it shows the unusual quality of leaving yeast deposits at the bottom of an imperial pint serving.

Had this on tap at the Diamond Knot brewpub in Mukilteo.

Appearance: light honey hue with huge cloudiness and a finger of soft compact white head. Nice.

Smell: wheaty, refreshing banana/clove aroma with a little bubblegum to boot. Good!

Taste: flavor is hoppier than the aroma suggests. Plenty of bitterness. The flavor profile is good but I think has a little more hops than I would like. It doesn't quite have enough of the good hefe stuff I like; if it tasted more like the aroma, it would be grand.

Mouthfeel: medium-light body with great carbonation makes it nice and creamy.

Drinkability: refreshing and tasty enough.

pours a very cloudy yellow with a small white head, and good lacing.

smell is of wheat, some banana, yeast, and a whiff of caramel, and a touch of citrus.

taste is creamy, wheat, and some citrus, ends dry.

overall a very nice hefe-weizen, well done.

On-tap at Diamond Knot brewpub in July 2008.

"A true German Style HefeWeizen with subtle banana and clove aromas. Great flavor with a crisp finish and a pleasant aftertaste."

Amazing. Almost all of Diamond Knot's beers are amasing. Please don't tell InBev or Buttwisser!

A= gorgeous cloudy unfiltered wheat, not much head but wow constant lacing from top of the glass down.

S= definitely a nose-catching experience, even if you're not a big Hefe fan. Delightful aroma, the banana and clove are evident, modest citrus/lemon notes.

T= wow this one really caught us off-guard-- startlingly great, in fact. Balanced, nothing to put anyone off, nice unfiltered taste, banana evident, hints of clove and mild citrus notes. Gulp gulp gulp.

M= very clean, very fresh, very pleasant.

D= you'll never forgive youreslf if you don't make the effort to get this on-tap at Diamond Knot, some day. Plan a vacation around it ;-)
