Mi Mei Honey Plum Hefeweizen
Roth Brewing Company

 

 

On tap at Tribeca Tavern in Raleigh under the name Valkyrie. New name, same recipe I'm told.

A - hazy orangish gold with a little white head that has no retention

S - big yeast notes featuring heavy clove and banana

T - yeasty, spicy clove, banana, faint plum

M - crisp, thin, light bodied

This is an easy to drink hefe. It's pretty heavy on the yeast and a bit thin at times, but it has decent flavor even if the plum doesn't come through. It's a nice try at a new twist on an old classic.

 

 

Got this growler for me and the wife to split,I had higher hopes for this from things heard,honestly I wasnt really impressed.Poured alight lemon yeloow with a large fluffy crown that held well,clove-like phenols,hard water,and some of that stone fruit plum in the aromas,the hard water/mineral element isnt very appetizing in my opinion.Clovey phenols,that hard water,and faint lemon on the palate,the mouthfeel is very thin,I would even say watery.I know its a summer style beer and its going to be light,but this is to light and has to many oddities going on for me to enjoy.
