Honey-Weizen
Jeremiah Johnson Brewing Co.

From a 12oz can, canned on 06/18/2025

This beer has a bit of haze to it, as I would expect from the style. The color is a nice golden shade. The head is quite frothy looking and 3 finger in size. The head retention is decent, and the lacing is just sticky looking on the glass.
Wow, the aroma is strong and pleasing. I just get a ton of the wheat aromas hitting my nose. There's a lot of banana, and cloves touching my nose. There's a sweetness to the aroma.
Taste - I am getting the wheat flavors in this beer. There's a ton of cloves in the flavor and a touch of banana. There's a bit of bubblegum in the flavor. There's also a touch of bitterness on the finish.
The body has that clingy feeling to it, but it is the bubblegum element that clings in my throat.
Well, I must say that I am happy I bought this one on vacation. I am enjoying it.

 

 

 

Draft at Push & Pour. Dark, cloudy golden, thin skin of head. Bready, grainy aroma, notes of honey. Taste is sweet, more bready malts, honey. Light banana flavors, but thin for a weizen.

this should be so much better than it is, i love the idea too, a hefe with honey, makes sense on a number of levels, but they have a poorly refined brew here that is neither light enough to be a summer crusher or well refined enough to hit has a solid base hefeweizen, they honey part is tasty and cool, but the overall quality is lacking a little bit, and i am surprised to hear people as excited about this as they seem to be, its just okay when compared to the best hefe types out there, and the honey isnt enough to make it objectively better, much as that is the most relevant part of this. its rust colored orange, thick looking, and cloudy even for the style with just a short white head from the tap. the aroma is sweet and the yeast is estery, but its a little monotone on the ferment and the wheat is plain and cerealy, a little sweet too it seems. the flavor is floral from the honey, a little citrus pop in there, maybe orange in the mix too, lots of promise here, and i like the fuller feeling wheat even though its flavor is simple here. its the fermentation thats a little off, a touch astringent and thinning, sharp and lightly phenolic, and this still finishes sweeter than it should. overall the beer just isnt cleaned up very well, its under carbonated and sort of tired and tiring. i wanted a lot more from this, and think people need to raise the bar for hefeweizen if this is passing as great to folks, its decidedly not great. that said it has some merit and interest with the honey and i am hoping its better in the can than it was on tap...

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a very hazy orange-amber color with a one finger head of white foam. The head fades rather fast to leave a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is strongest of a wheaty smell mixed with some big honey and a little bit of a yeasty smell. Along with these aromas comes some orange sweetness as well as a little bit of some light coriander and clove smells. With a little bit of banana one is left with a nice, robust, and inviting aroma.
Taste – The taste begins with a wheat bread flavor mixed with some flavors of a light honey and a coriander and clove spice. As the taste moves forward there is a little bit of hay and some grass as well as some light lemon and orange flavors. These tastes take the taste to the end and leave one with a wheaty and lightly sweetened taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is on the average side with a carbonation level that is on the average side. For the flavors the feel is pretty decent and makes for an easy drinker.
Overall – A decent and not too sweet brew with a good drinking feel. Overall pretty decent overall.
