Overall a,solid Weiss beer. Taste like a German Weiss beer with no after taste that some American wheat beers have. Would definitely buy if in the Houston area.

 

 

 

 

 

A bit of a disappointment - almost a characatue of a hefe - bit too much with the banana and clove.

Weak head and lacing and a tad watery. Overall taste is good. Not something I will seek out.

 

 

 

Poured from can into plastic cup. In your face banana. Taste follows nose. Great beer

 

 

A: Pours a darker than expected hazed orange color. A two finger white head forms and recedes after a minute. Not much lace to speak of either.
S: More orange and citrus rind than anything. I don't get any banana or clove that I love for the style. A bit phenolic, and even a touch sulfur like (which I do get from time to time with other examples of the style). Still, enjoyable.
T: Like the nose more orange rind and citrus, I am straining to try and get banana esters and I don't think they are there. A touch phenolic, and a touch sulfur. Again, being slightly flawed here, still something enjoyable.
M/O: A much thinner body than I was expecting, with not as smooth a finish from the wheat that I love. Thin, under carbonated a little, and muddled. OK to drink, and relatively enjoyable for what it is. Though, not really hitting any Hefewiezen sweet spots for me.

I would love to get some of the zippy wheat and banana esters Twiggy is getting. Though I get more pronounced orange rind, phenols, and a touch sulfur like than anything. While not bad, to many other better examples of the style I like to go to.
