Appearance: clear, bright golden coloration, slim white head.
Aroma: Banana-y! This nose is flush with fruit. Small spice, traces of citrus. Mild hops.
Taste: Small hop presence, then the lush malt takes over, but it's all barley. The Bavarian hefe weizen yeast is at work, but not against wheat malt. That's what makes it the wheatless wonder.
Smooth, fruity, creamy and quenching. Slightly sweet stuff, and well-balanced. Ah! Re-freshing. Mmm, mm.
"We started with a classic German weizen yeast and brewed it without the wheat. This recipe has 100% malted barley. Pallisade and sterling hops."6.9% ABV.
What if I used that weizen yeast, but left out the wheat? Such a quintessential Farmer Dave thing to do. Like whatever cosmic force you care to name thinking to itself that sticking a duck bill on an egg-laying mammal might be a fun joke to play on the universe. Not that I'm calling FD a God or anything like that. Heaven forbid.
